Make room for notes inspired by a distinctive retail story. Neisner Brothers started with a Rochester variety store opened in 1911 by Abraham and Joseph Neisner, then grew to 103 stores in 63 cities by 1935. Its later Big N format captured a period of change in American shopping. This spiral notebook is a fitting companion for research, journaling, or planning, and a thoughtful find for collectors of company and department store history.
Brothers Abraham and Joseph Neisner opened their first variety store in Rochester, New York, in 1911. They incorporated Neisner Brothers in New York in 1916, when the business had five stores selling merchandise priced from five cents to one dollar. In 1929, the company acquired a large interest in British Home Stores, a similar United Kingdom chain, and sold that interest in the late 1930s. The company grew during the Depression: by 1935, Neisner's operated 103 stores in 63 cities across 16 states. Abraham died in 1933 while traveling aboard the SS Rex. Later leadership included Joseph's son Fred Neisner as chairman and Abraham's son Melvin Neisner as president. In the 1960s and 1970s, Neisner's developed Big N, a store format resembling today's big-box stores, primarily in New York and other northeastern states. The company petitioned for bankruptcy protection on December 1, 1977. Ames Department Stores acquired the chain in November 1978, and GC Murphy later occupied several former Big N sites with its Murphy's Mart format, including one in Mount Vernon, Ohio.
