Ohrbach's
Ohrbach's was a moderate-priced department store with a merchandising focus primarily on clothing and accessories. From its modest start in 1923 until the chain's demise in 1987, Ohrbach's expanded dramatically after World War II, and opened numerous branch locations in the metro areas of New York, New Jersey and Los Angeles. Its original flagship store was located on Union Square in New York City, and they maintained home and administrative offices in Newark as well as in Los Angeles. The retailer would eventually close the Newark offices in the 1970s. Paul László designed the Union Square store as well as many of their other stores. == History == Ohrbach’s first store opened on October 4, 1923 in the fire-damaged building where Adolph Zukor operated the world’s first nickelodeon.〔Ferry, John William. ''A History of the Department Store''. Pages 80-81. New York: The Macmillan Company, 1960 ASIN B000E1B216〕 Founder Nathan M. Ohrbach launched his store with partner Max Wiesen, a dress manufacturer. After a time there was a falling-out between the partners. Wiesen refused to sell out so Ohrbach leased quarters nearby to open a second store. This move forced Wiesen to sell out.〔Mahoney, Tom, and Leonard Sloane. ''The Great Merchants: America's Foremost Retail Institutions and the People Who Made Them Great''. Page 312.
