| 释义 |
After the 1925 death of John's son and successor, Stewart Shillito, Shillito's was sold to the F&R Lazarus Co. in 1928, which became a founding partner in Federated Department Stores a year later. In several ways, Shillito’s became the first department store to embrace the African-American community. In 1946 it was the nation’s first department store to give credit to African-Americans, as well as employ them as salespeople and executives. The store’s restaurant was the first in downtown Cincinnati to serve African-American customers.[2] Branch stores were built at new outlying suburban malls: Tri-County Mall (1960), Western Woods (1963), Beechmont Mall (1969), Oxmoor Mall (Louisville, Kentucky, 1971), Fayette Mall (Lexington, Kentucky, 1971), Florence Mall (Florence, Kentucky, 1977) and Jefferson Mall (Louisville, 1979).[3] The Shillito name was merged with corporate sibling Rike's to form Shillito-Rike's in 1982; the name was dropped altogether in 1986 in favor of Lazarus.[4] On March 6, 2005, the Lazarus name was dropped and the former Shillito's stores now operate under the Macy's brand name. The landmark Shillito's department store building has been converted into the Lofts at Shillito Place luxury apartments.[5] It is a contributing property to the Race Street Historic District. When the building was renovated in 1998, the developer was surprised to uncover the atrium space with the original octagonal skylight. They restored it with energy-efficient materials. Today there are 18 loft-style apartments on six floors and office space on the main floor.[6] See also
