A Kessler's youth hoodie or sweatshirt connects young wearers with a memorable Georgia business story. The Kessler family opened its first department store in Macon in 1914, relocated to Atlanta in 1932, and opened a downtown Atlanta store the next year. Their chain served shoppers in multiple Georgia communities before closing in 1998. This layer is a comfortable-looking tribute to family enterprise, local history, and the changing places where communities shopped.
Kessler's was a family-owned lower-end department store chain in Georgia. Its first department store opened in Macon in 1914. In 1932, the Kessler family moved to Atlanta, and Hyman and Walter H. Kessler opened a downtown Atlanta store the following year, in 1933. That store became the chain's main location. Over time, Kessler's operated seven additional Georgia locations in Smyrna, Rome, Newnan, West Point, Decatur, West Atlanta, and Canton. The company remained identified with its family ownership and its network of stores serving Atlanta and other Georgia communities. The Kessler family closed all of the stores in 1998, ending the chain's retail operations. The former downtown Atlanta store was later converted into condominiums. Kessler's history connects an early Macon opening, a move to Atlanta during the 1930s, and a long-running Georgia department store presence that concluded at the end of the twentieth century.
