Carry a piece of regional retail history with this Stone & Thomas backpack. Founded in Wheeling in 1847, the department store grew into a West Virginia institution, with branches reaching cities across nearby states. Shoppers knew it as Stone’s and “The People’s Store,” a familiar local name tied to generations of errands, school seasons, and family outings. Its eventual transition to other retail chains marks a memorable chapter in the changing landscape of hometown stores, making this a distinctive choice for fans and collectors.
Stone & Thomas was a United States department store chain founded in 1847 in Wheeling, then in Virginia, by Elijah J. Stone and Jacob C. Thomas. Based in Wheeling, West Virginia, it became known as Stone’s and “The People’s Store,” and operated for about 150 years as a West Virginia institution. From its downtown Wheeling flagship, the chain expanded to Huntington in the 1910s and Charleston in 1928, later reaching other major West Virginia cities and locations in Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. In 1956 it bought Broida’s of Parkersburg and was briefly called Broida’s, Stone & Thomas. By the 1990s, it was focusing more on suburban stores and closing some older downtown locations. Falling profits led to its 1998 sale to Ohio-based Elder-Beerman for $38 million. By 1999, all Stone & Thomas stores had been converted to Elder-Beerman; six locations went to Peebles and three to Belk. The Huntington store was later purchased by Marshall University for its Department of Art & Design, which opened in the building on September 18, 2014.
