Jacksons (department store)
Jacksons was an English department store chain. It was founded by Edward Jackson in September 1875. Its flagship branch was located in central Reading, Berkshire, occupying a prominent site, ''Jacksons Corner'', on Kings Road, just south of the Market Place. It expanded and at its peak operated from seven locations. It closed its remaining original store in Reading in December 2013. Throughout its history, the company was owned by its founding family.
==History==
On 17 September 1875, Edward Jackson founded the gentlemen’s outfitters shop in Kings Road, Reading. The business was incorporated as E. Jackson & Sons Ltd on 23 December 1919. The business expanded into a department store occupying the whole of the corner on the corner of Kings Road and High Street, just south of Market Place, selling womenswear, lingerie, shoes, knitting supplies, craft supplies, textiles, and it also became one of Reading’s principal suppliers of schoolwear.
The company later expanded, and opened stores in Caversham, Goring-on-Thames, Bracknell, Camberley, Henley and Oxford; although these had all closed by 1994. This left just its original store in Reading open, which was then branded Jacksons of Reading.〔(Jacksons faced with closure )〕
The founder’s great-grandson Brian Carter started working for the firm in the 1960s, rising to become managing director, a position he retained until the business closed on 24 December 2013.〔(Jacksons Corner department store has closed after 138 years )〕
