Product Details & Size Guide
GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Let young fans wear a piece of Southern retail history with this McRae's youth hoodie. What began as a Jackson, Mississippi, dry goods store in 1902 grew into a department store name familiar across several Southern states. McRae's stayed family-owned for decades, expanded into Florida and Alabama, and later experienced the changes that reshaped department store chains. This keepsake connects today's generation with the stores and shopping memories remembered by their families.
Samuel P. McRae founded McRae's in Jackson, Mississippi, in 1902 as a dry goods store. The business remained family-owned for decades and grew from $1 million in sales in 1955 to $10 million in 1970. Its first location beyond Mississippi opened in 1974 at University Mall in Pensacola, Florida, later known as University Town Plaza. In 1987, McRae's acquired 13 Alabama stores from Pizitz. The chain, known for strengths in home furnishings, men's apparel, and cosmetics, was acquired by Tennessee-based Proffitt's in 1993. McRae's retained its name and operated as a separate subsidiary. Proffitt's merged with Saks Holdings in 1998, and the combined company became Saks Incorporated; McRae's joined its Southern Department Store Group. Charlotte-based Belk bought Proffitt's and McRae's in a deal completed in July 2005. On March 8, 2006, most McRae's stores became Belk stores, with three excluded. Saks retained the Tuscaloosa and Gadsden locations for conversion to its Parisian chain; both later became part of the Parisian locations sold to Belk. The Mall of Louisiana location in Baton Rouge became a Dillard's store.
