Product Details & Size Guide
GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Give your everyday viewing setup a connection to New Jersey retail history with this Steinbach Department Store foldable mobile phone display stand. Steinbach began in Long Branch in 1870 and reached Asbury Park in 1874, where its downtown flagship grew into an enduring landmark. Later decades brought mall expansion, corporate mergers, and new ownership, reflecting a changing retail landscape. This design offers collectors and former shoppers a practical way to keep the Steinbach story in view while honoring a distinctive name from the shore’s commercial past.
Founded in 1870 in Long Branch, New Jersey, by brothers John, Henry, and Jacob Steinbach, the department store chain expanded to Asbury Park four years later. By the early 20th century, it was described as the world's largest department store. Its Asbury Park flagship on Cookman Avenue grew from five floors to include a fifth floor and clock tower in the 1930s. Supermarkets General Corporation acquired the chain in the 1960s; it continued to operate separately, while two Goerke's stores were incorporated and renamed Steinbach. In 1978, the parent combined Steinbach and Howland under the corporate name Howland-Steinbach, while both retail names remained in use. The downtown Asbury Park store closed in 1979, and a nearby Seaview Square branch was expanded to carry its departments. Amcena Corporation acquired the chain in 1986 and converted former Ohrbach's and Howland locations to the Steinbach name in 1987. Schottenstein's purchased the chain in 1994; Crowley Milner and Company acquired it in 1995. Steinbach filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1999, later converted to Chapter 7 liquidation, and was liquidated with Crowley Milner. The former flagship building was renovated after its 2001 purchase and reopened with retail space and apartments.
