Share a little local history with a young shopper through this Stone & Thomas kids tee. The Wheeling-founded department store opened in 1847 and grew into a familiar name across West Virginia and neighboring states. Known to customers as Stone’s and “The People’s Store,” it was part of family shopping memories for generations before its stores changed hands in the late 1990s. This design connects a new generation with the places, people, and changing storefronts that shaped regional retail.
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.
