{"product_id":"strouss-hirshberg-golf-balls","title":"Strouss-Hirshberg Golf Balls","description":"GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBring a piece of Mahoning Valley retail history along for your next round. Strouss-Hirshberg began in Youngstown under founders Isaac Strouss and Bernard Hirshberg, then grew into a regional department-store name serving northern Ohio and western Pennsylvania. After May Department Stores acquired the company in 1947, Strouss' expanded through downtown districts, malls, and plazas. These golf balls celebrate that local story, from Boardman Plaza to the later transition into Kaufmann's, for collectors and shoppers who remember the region's changing retail landscape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFounded 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGet your audience in the zone with these personalized golf balls.
