Celebrate a familiar Philadelphia name with this Strawbridge & Clothier can cooler. Founded in 1868 as a dry goods store near Market Street, the family business became a regional department store remembered for its Center City flagship, suburban branches, and distinctive shopping traditions. Its nameplate eventually gave way to a larger retail company, but the story remains part of local history. This compact keepsake suits collectors, former shoppers, and anyone who enjoys a reminder of the stores that shaped regional retail.
Founded in Philadelphia in 1868 by Quakers Justus Clayton Strawbridge and Isaac Hallowell Clothier, Strawbridge & Clothier began as a dry goods store at Market and 8th Streets. Its Center City flagship grew into a 13-story Beaux-Arts building, completed in 1931. The company began opening suburban branches in 1930, expanding across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware; by the 1980s, annual sales exceeded a billion dollars. In 1995, it joined an unsuccessful bid for rival Wanamaker's, then its 13 department stores were acquired by May in 1996. The stores operated as Strawbridge's, while May placed them under its Hecht's division. After Federated Department Stores acquired May on August 30, 2005, control of the remaining stores passed to Macy's East on February 1, 2006. The flagship closed on May 23, and on September 9, 2006, the Strawbridge's nameplate was phased out in favor of Macy's. The flagship building later found other uses, including office, residential, retail, and grocery space.
