Keep everyday cards in order with a business card holder that nods to Strouss-Hirshberg and its place in regional retail history. Founded in Youngstown by Isaac Strouss and Bernard Hirshberg, the company grew into a leading name across the Mahoning and Shenango Valleys. Its later Strouss' stores served downtown districts and suburban shopping centers before the division joined Kaufmann's in 1986. This piece brings that changing retail story to a practical desk accessory.
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.
