Carry a piece of Denver’s retail story into your everyday routine. The Denver Dry Goods Company began in 1879, building on the founders’ earlier work in local dry goods shops. Its changing names, expanding downtown store, and growth into a regional chain reflect the evolution of shopping in Colorado. The company motto, “Where Colorado Shops With Confidence,” gives this backpack a meaningful connection to the city’s commercial past. A thoughtful pick for local-history fans, former shoppers, and anyone who enjoys a nod to enduring Denver landmarks.
The Denver Dry Goods Company began in Denver, Colorado, in 1879, founded by Michael J. McNamara and L. H. Flanders as M. J. McNamara & Company. Their business roots reach back to 1876, when both worked as clerks at a Denver dry goods store. McNamara formed a partnership with Edgar H. Drew in 1877; after Drew left two years later, Flanders joined as co-owner. The business was purchased and renamed The McNamara Dry Goods Company in 1886, opening under that name on October 11. In 1893 McNamara transferred ownership to Dennis Sheedy and Charles Kountz, and the company was reorganized as Denver Dry Goods Company in 1894. Its downtown Denver store, built in 1889, was expanded in 1898, 1906 and 1924. The company later became part of Associated Dry Goods, which expanded its stores in the Denver area and other locations, including Billings, Montana. May Company acquired it as part of Associated Dry Goods in 1986. Nine of 12 locations closed and were sold; the remaining three became May-Daniels & Fisher stores in 1987. The original downtown building was converted to apartments in 1994.
