Add a touch of Toledo retail history to everyday notes with this Lion Store sticky note pad. Frederick Eaton’s dry goods business opened downtown in 1857, and cast-iron lions outside the shop gave the store its enduring name. In later decades, Lion Store grew beyond downtown as Toledo’s shopping landscape shifted toward suburban centers. This design nods to a familiar local institution whose nameplate was retired in 1999, making it a practical keepsake for former shoppers, collectors, and fans of city history.
Lion Store began in Toledo, Ohio, in 1857, when New Englander Frederick Eaton opened a dry goods business that soon moved to a larger downtown location. Between 1859 and 1865, Eaton placed two life-size cast-iron lion statues outside the store; customers began calling it “The Lion Store.” The business moved to its final downtown site in 1866, with the lions going along. In 1890, following Eaton’s death, the store became part of H.B. Claflin & Company and was incorporated as The Lion Dry Goods Co. Mercantile Stores later acquired the business and operated the chain from 1914 until Dillard’s acquired it in 1998. The nameplate was retired in 1999. After World War II, Lion expanded with Toledo’s suburban growth, opening at Westgate Village Shopping Center in 1957 and Southwyck Shopping Center in 1972. Its downtown store closed in 1980, and later locations included North Towne Square and Franklin Park Mall. By 1998, the chain had three fashion apparel stores and two home furnishing stores in local malls. The Franklin Park location continues under the Dillard’s name, where the lion statues remain in the main atrium.
