GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Honor a regional retail landmark with this Strouss-Hirshberg men's sport polo shirt. Founded in Youngstown by Isaac Strouss and Bernard Hirshberg, the business grew into a leading retailer across the Mahoning and Shenango Valleys. After its 1947 acquisition, the Strouss' name spread through northern Ohio and western Pennsylvania, with stores in downtown districts, plazas, and malls. The division's 1986 consolidation into Kaufmann's marked a turning point in local retail history. A meaningful choice for former shoppers and collectors of regional department-store 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.
