{"product_id":"watt-shand-backpack","title":"Watt \u0026 Shand Backpack","description":"GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarry a piece of Lancaster retail history with a Watt \u0026amp; Shand Backpack inspired by the department store that grew from the New York Store opened in 1878. From its early dry-goods trade and famous wool plaid shawl to its East King Street landmark, Watt \u0026amp; Shand became a lasting part of Pennsylvania commerce. The story continued through ready-to-wear, jewelry, Park City Center, and a preserved Beaux Arts facade, making this a thoughtful choice for collectors and local-history enthusiasts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWatt \u0026amp; Shand was a department store in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, with roots in the New York Store, opened on March 9, 1878, by Peter T. Watt, Gilbert Thompson, and James Shand. The store sold foreign and domestic dry goods, upscale merchandise, and famously began with a $5 wool plaid shawl. After Thompson died during the first year, Watt and Shand renamed the business Watt, Shand and Company. The store moved to 8-10 East King Street in 1880, shortened its name to Watt \u0026amp; Shand in 1885, and expanded into 6 East King Street. A ladies' ready-to-wear department was added in 1889. Expansion continued through acquisitions, including buildings at 23 Penn Square in 1905, Appel \u0026amp; Weber jewelry in 1959, and Hager's Department Store in 1968. A Park City Center location opened in 1970. The downtown store completed a three-year renovation in 1984, but the business was purchased by The Bon-Ton in 1992. The downtown location closed in March 1995. Its Beaux Arts building, later listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was demolished in 2006, while its facade was preserved in a hotel and convention complex.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rugged, everyday 20L backpack designed for days that move fast and demand durability.
