Connect a young history fan with Akron's department store past through this O'Neil's youth hoodie. Michael O'Neil and Isaac Dyas opened their dry goods store in 1877, and the business later grew into a familiar regional name. Its downtown Akron store was known for large display windows and animated holiday scenes, creating memories shared across generations. A meaningful pick for school days, family history outings, or anyone curious about the local stores whose names helped define shopping across northeastern Ohio.
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.
