Carry a piece of Alabama retail history with this Pizitz backpack. Founded in Birmingham in 1899 as the Louis Pizitz Dry Goods Co., the company grew from a downtown store into a regional chain with locations across the state. Its name still brings to mind Birmingham shopping and the stores that served communities beyond the city. A fitting choice for everyday outings or for collectors who appreciate the story of a locally rooted department store.
Pizitz was an Alabama department store chain founded in 1899 as the Louis Pizitz Dry Goods Co. Its first store stood on the site of the company’s later flagship building in downtown Birmingham. At its peak, the chain operated 12 additional stores, mostly around Birmingham, with several in Huntsville and other Alabama cities. Pizitz became a major regional retailer, linking its name to downtown shopping in Birmingham and to a broader network of Alabama stores. In December 1986, the chain was sold to McRae’s, and all former Pizitz stores became McRae’s locations. McRae’s was sold to Belk, based in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 2005. The transition left many former Pizitz locations closed, while the Pizitz family, through Pizitz Management Group, continued to own the buildings of most former stores. The family also donated land on which Louis Pizitz Middle School was built. The company’s history thus spans its 1899 founding, regional growth, the 1986 store transition, and the later change in ownership of its successor chain.
