GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Carry a piece of northeastern Ohio retail history with an O'Neil's Backpack. The story began in 1877, when Michael O'Neil and Isaac Dyas opened a dry goods shop on East Market Street in Akron. The business grew into a regional department store name remembered for its downtown presence and animated holiday windows. This design brings that local heritage into everyday routines, whether you are heading to class, commuting, or exploring the city. A thoughtful pick for Akron history fans and department-store memorabilia collectors.
O'Neil's was an American department store chain founded in 1877, when Michael O'Neil and Isaac Dyas opened a dry goods store at 114 East Market Street in Akron, Ohio. After Dyas died in 1892, the business became the M. O'Neil Co. May Department Stores acquired it in 1912 for $1 million. A new downtown Akron store opened in 1927 and remained until the late 1980s. O'Neil's expanded across the Akron and Canton areas, with branches in nearby communities and malls. The downtown store was known for large display windows and elaborate animated holiday scenes. In 1989, the downtown store closed and the remaining O'Neil's locations merged with May Company Ohio; the O'Neil's name was retired. May Company Ohio was later merged into its Pittsburgh division, Kaufmann's, in 1993. The chain's history connects a local Akron dry goods shop with regional department-store growth and successive corporate consolidations.
