Carry a piece of Kansas City retail history on your next journey. The Jones Store began in Stafford, Kansas, in 1887, then opened a Kansas City shop in 1895 and built a downtown presence remembered by generations of shoppers. Its flagship closed in January 1998, and the store name gave way to Macy’s in 2006. This luggage tag celebrates that distinctive chapter in local history and suits collectors, former customers, and travelers who enjoy sharing a connection to the city’s past.
The Jones Store Company began in 1887 as an 800-square-foot shop in Stafford, Kansas, founded by J. Logan Jones. In 1895, Jones opened a Kansas City, Missouri, store at Sixth and Main, in the River Market neighborhood. In 1902, the business leased a seven-story building occupying a full block at Twelfth Street and Main, across from Bernheimer Bros. & Co. Jones declared bankruptcy in 1910, and New York interests took over the store. The new owners acquired merchandise from Bernheimer Brothers in 1919. The downtown flagship continued operating until January 1998, although other major retailers had left downtown; its building was demolished in 2005. The Jones Store became a division of Mercantile Stores Company in the early 1960s. May Department Stores acquired it in 1998 following Dillard’s acquisition of Mercantile, integrating it into the Famous-Barr division. After May joined Federated in 2005, the business became part of the new Macy’s Midwest division in February 2006. The Jones Store name was phased out that September in favor of the Macy’s nameplate.
