Share a story of Denver’s past with a kids tee celebrating The Denver Dry Goods Company. Founded in 1879, the retailer began as a local business and grew alongside the city, becoming a familiar shopping destination for Colorado families. Its downtown store and motto, “Where Colorado Shops With Confidence,” remain reminders of a different era of department-store life. This design is a fun way for young Denver fans to connect with local history, family memories, and the people and places that helped shape their community.
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.
