Thalhimers was founded in Richmond in 1842 by German Jewish
immigrant William Thalhimer as a humble dry goods store. It
expanded over the years to become a 26-store chain across the
Southeast under the leadership of William's great-grandson, William
B. Thalhimer Jr. It boasted the latest in clothing, shoes, and
accessories for the entire family, the most modern of housewares,
and gourmet foods and baked goods, including the iconic six-layer
chocolate cake. Through decades of dramatic political and social
change, Thalhimers stood strong, guided by the overarching
philosophies of honesty, integrity, quality, and service. Loyal and
devoted employees were the heart of Thalhimers, becoming part of
the extended Thalhimer family. Sadly, in 1992, as a result of
retail consolidation, the Thalhimer name was dropped and the
flagship downtown Richmond store closed. A 150-year legacy ended,
leaving behind cherished memories, stories, and images.
Elizabeth Thalhimer Smartt takes readers along on her obsessive
quest to find the true story of her father's family and their
department store Thalhimers. Riveting and poignant, this
multigenerational narrative weaves together history, biography, and
memoir into an unforgettable portrait of an ambitious American
retail family.
