Celebrate a Philadelphia department-store name with this Strawbridge & Clothier quarter-zip sweatshirt. Founded in 1868, the company grew from a dry goods shop at Market and 8th Streets into a regional institution whose Center City flagship became a city landmark. Suburban branches later brought the name to communities across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. For former shoppers and local-history collectors, it recalls generations of store traditions and a distinctive chapter in the region's retail story.
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.
