Carry a reminder of New York neighborhood shopping with this Mays Department Stores phone case. The company traces its roots to a Brooklyn clothing shop founded in 1924 and its first Mays location on Fulton Street, opened in September 1929. From Brooklyn to communities across the region, the chain became a familiar retail name and reached nine stores in the early 1970s. Its final stores closed in 1988, making Mays a distinctive piece of local business history.
Mays was a New York-area discount department store chain operated by J.W. Mays, Inc. Its roots were a Brooklyn women's clothing store founded in 1924 by Joe Weinstein, a Polish Jewish immigrant from Galicia. The first Mays location opened at 510 Fulton Street in Brooklyn in September 1929, the year Weinstein incorporated the company and added his initials to its name. The chain expanded through the 1950s and 1960s, reaching nine stores and about 5,000 employees in the early 1970s. Locations served three of New York City's five boroughs, Long Island, and Putnam County. Mays competed with other discount retailers and higher-end department stores; a proposed merger with two discount competitors did not happen. After losing market share in the late 1970s, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1982 and closed five stores outside New York City. In 1987 it closed one of its two Glen Oaks stores. The chain announced the immediate closure of its last three stores on December 28, 1988, with final sales on December 31. On January 1, 1989, J.W. Mays, Inc. returned to real estate, using property previously occupied by its stores.
