Bring a piece of West Michigan's department-store story into your everyday wardrobe with this Steketee's quarter-zip sweatshirt. The business began in 1862 as a family dry goods store and grew alongside Grand Rapids, opening its eight-story Monroe Avenue flagship in 1915. Later, satellite stores served communities across southwestern Michigan. The downtown location closed in 1998, and the final Steketee's store followed in 2003. Its name still recalls local shopping, family history, and a changing retail landscape.
Steketee's was a Grand Rapids, Michigan, department store whose roots date to 1862, when Paul Steketee and John H. Doornich started a dry goods business. After a fire devastated the operation, Doornich sold his interest to Steketee, whose family helped rebuild it. As Grand Rapids grew, the family developed an eight-story flagship on Monroe Avenue, which opened in 1915. The company expanded beyond downtown in the 1950s, opening its first satellite store in 1958 and later operating several stores across southwestern Michigan. In 1991, the Fort Worth department store company Dunlaps bought out the Steketee family and brought the stores into its group of brands. Changing retail patterns and competition from national brands affected the business. The downtown Grand Rapids store closed in 1998. The Maple Hill Mall store in Kalamazoo closed in 2003, the same year Dunlaps shut the last Steketee's store, at Westshore Mall. The former downtown Grand Haven store building was later adapted for use as the Tri-Cities Historical Museum.
