Founded in 1868, the company became known for its Center City flagship and a network of suburban stores serving Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. Its name, shopping bags, and store traditions still resonate with former customers and collectors of regional memorabilia. This keepsake brings a piece of local retail history to a refrigerator or magnetic display, and makes a thoughtful choice for fans of Philadelphia landmarks and department store stories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFounded in Philadelphia in 1868 by Quakers Justus Clayton Strawbridge and Isaac Hallowell Clothier, Strawbridge \u0026amp; 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: 500;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e2\" x 2\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eWidth, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e2.00\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eHeight, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e2.00\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"4\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eDepth, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"4\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e0.25\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- 2\" square porcelain tile with glossy finish\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Superior coating for bright, true-to-design color reproduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Vibrant, crisp printing using modern techniques\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Strong magnet mounted on the backside for secure hold\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Durable glossy surface that highlights fine details and contrasts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Gently wipe the dirt or dust off with a clean, dry microfiber cloth\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEU representative\u003c\/strong\u003e: HONSON VENTURES LIMITED, gpsr@honsonventures.com, 3, Gnaftis House flat 102, Limassol, Mesa Geitonia, 4003, CY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct information\u003c\/strong\u003e: Generic brand, two year warranty in the EU and Northern Ireland\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e: Gently wipe the dirt or dust off with a clean, dry microfiber cloth\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Printify","offers":[{"title":"White \/ 2\" x 2\" \/ Square","offer_id":54913878884636,"sku":"65227314007732986780","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/2517\/5580\/files\/13535611268781653687_2048.jpg?v=1794626164","url":"https:\/\/ghostcorpapparel.com\/products\/strawbridge-clothier-square-porcelain-fridge-magnet","provider":"Ghost Corp Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
