GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Carry a piece of regional shopping history with a Strouss-Hirshberg backpack design. Founded in Youngstown by Isaac Strouss and Bernard Hirshberg, the department store grew into a leading retailer in the Mahoning and Shenango Valleys. After its 1947 acquisition by May Department Stores, the Strouss' name reached northern Ohio and western Pennsylvania. The chain's path from downtown districts to suburban malls, and its 1986 consolidation into Kaufmann's, makes this a distinctive choice for fans of local history and retail memorabilia.
Founded in Youngstown, Ohio, as Strouss-Hirshberg Co. by Isaac Strouss and Bernard Hirshberg, the department store became a leading retailer in the Mahoning and Shenango Valleys. May Department Stores purchased the company in 1947, shortened its name to Strouss', and expanded the chain across northern Ohio and western Pennsylvania under president C.J. Strouss. At its peak, the chain operated about 12 stores in downtown districts, malls, and strip plazas. In 1966, it opened a store at Boardman Plaza in Boardman Township, Ohio; that location moved to Southern Park Mall in 1970. In 1986, May Company consolidated the Strouss division into Kaufmann's. Many stores closed that May, including the downtown Youngstown and New Castle locations, while some mall stores became Kaufmann's. The changes followed a company strategy to focus Kaufmann's on mall locations and came amid a depressed Youngstown-area economy. The Strouss name thus traces a regional retailer from its independent founding through its May ownership and division consolidation.
