Bring a piece of Puerto Rico's department-store story to your next gathering with this New York Department Stores pint glass. The Kogan brothers built their business from a ladies' clothing shop in Caguas, then expanded to towns across the island. Their San Juan stores later united under the New York Department Stores name, a reminder of an era when local shopping grew into a community landmark. A thoughtful choice for collectors and anyone who remembers the island's changing retail landscape.
New York Department Stores grew from a ladies’ clothing business started by Salomón and Roberto Kogan in Caguas, Puerto Rico. Salomón arrived from New York City in 1931, and the brothers expanded to Guayama, Ponce, and Yauco. In 1936 they opened Broadway Department Stores and Manhattan Department Stores in San Juan. A larger, air-conditioned store at Santurce opened on May 7, 1941; it introduced customer self-selection and shorter working hours that other merchants adopted. In 1942, after Kleins’ owners left Puerto Rico, the Kogans acquired its premises and consolidated their three San Juan stores under the New York Department Stores name. A store designed by Henry Klumb opened at Santurce’s stop 17 on April 1, 1947. The chain later expanded to Bayamón, Guaynabo, Mayagüez, and other Puerto Rican communities. In 1988, its shares transferred to NYTSA Acquisition alongside Seedman’s and Santurce Realty. In 1994, Marshalls agreed to acquire most of the chain’s stores, with many slated for conversion or closure. By 1995, investor Investcorp had abandoned hopes of recovery and returned its original investment to clients.

A sturdy 16oz pint glass that brings a little roadhouse spirit to everyday pours. The clear tempered glass showcases whatever you fill it with — amber beer, cold brew, or fresh juice — while a bold vintage-inspired script wraps the side for a subtle, nostalgic touch. It feels solid in the hand, resists everyday wear, and pairs easily with bar carts, kitchen counters, or a laid-back backyard table. Wash gently by hand to keep the lettering sharp and the glass crystal-clear. Built from tempered materials and assembled in the USA, this glass fits into evenings spent swapping stories, weekend morning routines, or those slow, quiet moments when a simple drink matters.
