Keep Richmond department store history close with a Thalhimers laptop sleeve. The business began in 1842 as William Thalhimer’s dry goods store and grew into the city’s first department store under his grandson. Its downtown flagship stood at Seventh and Broad, where shoppers remembered the Richmond Room and seasonal attractions such as Lego Land. Thalhimers later expanded across the South before joining The Hecht Company in 1992. A thoughtful everyday choice for collectors and anyone who remembers this local institution.
Thalhimers began in Richmond, Virginia, where William Thalhimer, an immigrant from Germany, opened a dry goods store in 1842. His grandson, William B. Thalhimer, developed it into Richmond’s first department store, and the business grew into a regional chain across Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, with a store in Memphis, Tennessee. Its downtown Richmond flagship stood at Seventh and Broad Streets; an addition was built in 1939. The store’s Richmond Room restaurant and its fried-chicken spin-off, Golden Skillet, became part of its local history. In 1978, California-based Carter Hawley Hale Stores acquired the chain. In 1990, Carter Hawley Hale sold Thalhimers to St. Louis-based May Company for $325 million. In February 1992, Thalhimers merged into The Hecht Company, May’s Washington, DC division. Nearly all locations were rebranded as Hecht’s; two Charleston stores and the Memphis store went to Dillard’s. The Lynnhaven Mall location remained Thalhimers until May 1992, then became a second Hecht’s location in November. After Federated Department Stores acquired May Company in 2005, many former Thalhimers-area Hecht’s stores became part of Macy’s South in 2006. The downtown Richmond flagship closed in January 1992 and was demolished in 2004.
