Lechmere began in Cambridge in 1913 as Abraham Cohen’s harness shop, then grew alongside changing New England shopping habits. Tires came first, followed by appliances, televisions, toys, and household goods. This toddler tee celebrates the familiar name and local roots behind a store that became part of generations of family errands before closing in 1997. It offers a cheerful way to share a piece of regional retail history with a young Lechmere fan.
Lechmere began in 1913, when Abraham Cohen bought a harness shop in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and named it for the nearby Lechmere district. As automobiles grew popular, the business added tires and became Lechmere Vulcanizing Company. After Cohen’s children joined following World War II, it expanded into appliances; in 1948 it became the incorporated Lechmere Tire & Sales Company. Household goods, televisions, toys, and other merchandise followed. The first store moved in 1956 to a former bus garage at 88 First Street in Cambridge, later expanded to 100,000 square feet. Dayton’s bought the chain in 1968; its parent became Dayton Hudson Corporation, while Lechmere remained a separate subsidiary. Store growth included Dedham, Danvers, and Springfield. In 1981 the company name was simplified to Lechmere, Inc., and the chain expanded beyond New England. Berkshire Partners and Boston developers Steve Karp and Steve Wiener bought it in 1989, then Berkshire sold it to Montgomery Ward Holdings in 1994. On August 1, 1997, the parent announced Lechmere’s closure during bankruptcy reorganization. All locations ceased business on November 7, 1997.
