Goldwater's
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Goldwater's Department Store was a department store chain based in Phoenix, Arizona. It was founded in Gila City, Arizona, in 1860 and moved to Phoenix in 1872. The store was founded by Michael Goldwater, the grandfather of U.S. Senator and 1964 presidential candidate Barry Goldwater.
Goldwater's was acquired by Associated Dry Goods Corp. in 1963 and later was acquired by May Department Stores as part of May's 1986 acquisition of ADG. May Department Stores dissolved the division in 1989, with May D&F, May Company California and JW Robinson's absorbing various stores and the Tucson-area stores being sold to Diamond's, which shortly afterward was itself bought by Dillard's.
The Goldwater family reclaimed the store's old logo in 1989 and reincarnated it as a food company called Goldwater's Foods. Today they are known for their fine salsas.
