The Denver Dry Goods Company traces its beginnings to Denver in 1879 and the founders’ early work in the city’s dry goods trade. Over time, its downtown store became a landmark in the region’s shopping story, with a motto remembered by generations: “Where Colorado Shops With Confidence.” This double-sided keychain charm offers a small, everyday reminder of that history and the changing names and ownership behind a beloved Colorado retail institution. A keepsake for collectors and Denver history fans.
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.
