Bring a little retail history to everyday notes with this Parisian sticky note pad. Founded in Birmingham in 1877, Parisian grew from an Alabama department store into a regional chain, with locations in several states and generations of shoppers familiar with its name. Its story ended as a store brand in 2013 after ownership changes and a shifting retail landscape. This pad is a practical desk companion for former shoppers, collectors, and anyone who enjoys a small reminder of local business history.
Parisian was an upmarket American department store chain founded in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1877 by sisters Estella and Bertha Sommers. They sold the business to Carl Hess and William Holiner in the 1920s. In 1950, Emil Hess and Leonard Salit acquired it and introduced its first credit program; after Salit's death, the Hess family took control. Parisian expanded beyond Birmingham during the 1960s, opening in Decatur, Huntsville, Tuscaloosa, Mobile, and Montgomery, and reached 13 Alabama stores by the mid-1980s. Its first out-of-state locations were in Pensacola and Sarasota, Florida. Australian property firm LJ Hooker bought Parisian in 1988, then sold its share back to the Hess family in 1989 after filing for bankruptcy. By the early 1990s, the chain had entered Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio. Proffitt's acquired Parisian in 1995; after buying Saks Fifth Avenue in 1998, it renamed itself Saks Incorporated. Belk bought Parisian from Saks in 2006 for $285 million, and 24 locations became Belk by September 2007. Four stores transferred to The Bon-Ton in 2006 continued using the Parisian name under a time-limited agreement. Those naming rights expired in January 2013, ending the brand.
