Start the day with a nod to Loehmann's, the Brooklyn-born retailer founded by Frieda Loehmann and her son Charles in 1921. Their first store occupied a former automobile showroom and offered seasonal designer overstocks at bargain prices. The business grew into a familiar chain, and The Back Room became a lasting part of its identity. From its 1999 peak of about 100 stores to its later closures and reported pop-up plans, Loehmann's has a rich story for anyone interested in American retail history.
Loehmann's began in 1921, when former department store buyer Frieda Loehmann and her son Charles opened a store in a former automobile showroom at Bedford Avenue and Sterling Place in Brooklyn, New York City. They bought seasonal overstocks from New York designers and sold them at bargain prices. Charles opened a second store on Fordham Road in the Bronx in 1930. After Frieda's death in 1962, the original store closed, and the Charles C. Loehmann company went public and expanded. Associated Dry Goods acquired the chain in 1983; after its 1986 merger with The May Department Stores Company, May sold Loehmann's in 1988 to an investor group led by Sefinco Ltd. and the Sprout Group. The company went public again in 1996 and had about 100 stores in 17 states at its 1999 peak. After several ownership changes and Chapter 11 filings, Loehmann's began closing its stores in January 2014 and shut its last location on February 26, moving to online-only retailing. It ceased operations in 2018. Century 21 purchased the brand in 2020; a 2025 report said it planned pop-up locations, with a return expected in 2026.
