Add a note of Akron retail history to your everyday workspace. O'Neil's began as a dry goods shop in 1877, founded by Michael O'Neil and Isaac Dyas at 114 East Market Street. The business grew into a regional department-store chain, with a downtown Akron location remembered for its large windows and animated holiday displays. The name ended in 1989 as remaining stores merged with May Company Ohio. This mouse pad is a practical desk accent for collectors and fans of northeastern Ohio's local stories.
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.
