Celebrate a familiar name in Dallas shopping history with this Sanger-Harris metal bottle opener. The chain formed in 1961, bringing together two local retail histories that began with Sanger Brothers in 1868 and A. Harris and Company in 1887. Its 1965 downtown flagship helped establish a distinctive look, with marble columns and abstract tile mosaics appearing at many stores. A conversation-starting keepsake for collectors, former customers, and anyone who enjoys stories of regional businesses and their lasting place in local memory.
Sanger-Harris was a Dallas, Texas, department store chain created in 1961 when Federated Department Stores combined Sanger Brothers and A. Harris and Company. Sanger Brothers began in 1868, founded by five brothers, and Federated acquired it in 1951. A. Harris and Company dated to 1887 and joined Federated in 1961. The new chain opened a downtown Dallas flagship in 1965, replacing the predecessor companies’ flagship stores. During the late 1970s, it dropped the hyphen in its name and continued as an upper-moderate shopping destination. At its height, the chain operated 20 stores, primarily in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, with additional locations in Oklahoma and Arizona. Its stores became recognizable for white marble columns and abstract tile mosaics, a design introduced at the 1965 flagship and used at many locations built through 1982. In January 1987, Federated merged Sanger-Harris into its Houston-based Foley’s division. The combined division was sold to The May Department Store Company the following year. Federated acquired May in 2005, and many former Sanger-Harris locations became Macy’s stores in 2006. Many original buildings have since been remodeled or demolished.
