Stewart Dry Goods

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Stewart Dry Goods company of Louisville, Kentucky consisted of seven department stores in Kentucky and Indiana. It was a division of Associated Dry Goods in New York City.

In the 1980s, Associated Dry Goods merged the Stewart's stores into its sister L.S. Ayres division. After the Associated Dry Goods merger with May Department Stores in 1986, most of its former locations in Louisville were sold to Ben Snyder's, then later shuttered or sold to Hess's in 1987.

In 1992, the last former Stewart's at Washington Square Mall in Evansville, Indiana was shuttered by L.S. Ayres.
