Ngesikhathi esisodwa, uJackson's Department Stores wagcwalisa i-niche yokunethezeka eMetro Detroit naseMichigan. Eyaziwayo ngomkhathi wayo, impahla yokugqoka, ubucwebe, impahla yasekhaya, insizakalo yamakhasimende eyenziwe ngezifiso kanye nemiboniso yefashini, uJacsonson wayeyindlela yokuthenga. Ngokungafani nendlela yebhizinisi ye-JL Hudson's, ekugcineni eyangena futhi yasiza i-metro-indawo esitolo sendawo, uJacsonson waqhubeka eya ezindaweni zakhe ezizimele, ezindaweni zasemadolobheni.
Eqinisweni, izakhiwo ezimnyama ezibonakalayo zaziyaziwa emadolobheni ekolishi, kuhlanganise naseMpumalanga Lansing no-Ann Arbor, lapho izitolo zayo zisebenza njengendawo yokuhlangana elula, indawo yokuthenga nokudla okunye abafundi abavakashele nabazali babo.
Ngenkathi imakethe enkulu yezinketho yayiseMichigan, ezinye izifunda eziningana zazihlala ekhaya esitolo, kuhlanganise naseFlorida, e-Indiana, e-Ohio naseKentucky. Eqinisweni, izitolo zaseFlorida zakha imakethe yezinkampani ezinenzuzo kakhulu ngasekupheleni kwawo-1990. Lokho akusho ukuthi isipiliyoni sothenga kwakuyisimo esifanayo sokusho; izitolo zikaJacobson zahlukaniswa zaba izingxenye ezimbili zokuphatha - enyakatho naseningizimu - ukuthi ngamunye wayesebenzisa imikhuba yokuthenga eyingqayizivele yesifundazwe.
Umlando
Umnyango wokuqala woMnyango kaJakobe wavulwa ngo-1838 ngu-Abram Jacobson eReed City, eMichigan. Ngawo-1930, lo mzila wawunamasitolo e-Ann Arbor, Battle Creek naseJackson.
Ngo-1939, uNathan Rosenfeld wathenga lolu chungechunge, wahlanganisa futhi wathuthela indlunkulu yayo kuJackson. Wayebuye abe nesibopho sokuqondisa lolu chungechunge ngokukhethekile kwalo okunethezeka nokukhulisa amazwe amaningi.
Laurel Park Place
Isitolo sikaJacsonson esivuliwe eLaurel Park Place ngo-1987 sasiyisinye sezici ezinhle kakhulu zezinketho.
Isitolo senzelwe ukubheka nokuzizwa njengegumbi lokulala elincane. Ama-Skylights, ama-marble kanye nezingilazi zezingilazi basize ekwakheni isimo esasiyingozi kakhulu futhi sasiyinto esabisa abathengi abagqoke izingubo ezigqoke ekugcineni.
Ukushaya imali
Ukuncipha kokuqala kweketanga kwaqala ngo-1990. Isizathu esiyinhloko saba ukuwohloka komnotho jikelele, kodwa ukuqaliswa kwamaLwesihlanu angavamile endaweni yokusebenzela futhi ukunyuka kwezitolo zaseNordstrom naseParis kuya emakethe yeMetro-Detroit akuzange kusize. Noma kunjalo, lolu chungechunge lwaqhubeka landa ngaphandle kweMichigan futhi lwasebenzisa imali yokulungisa izitolo zalo ezikhona. Phakathi nalesi sikhathi, umakethe we-chain waseFlorida wawungaphumelelanga imakethe yayo eMichigan.
Naphezu kwemizamo yokwandisa iklayenti yeklayenti ngokuvula ngeSonto, ukunciphisa izimpahla zangasese-ilebula nokugxila ekuhlaleni kwabantu abancane, inzuzo yezinketho zaqhubeka nokuhla. Ngo-2002, le nkampani yagcina isifakalela ngemuva kokuvala ezinye izitolo zayo ezimbi. Ekuqaleni, inkampani yafaka iSahluko 11 futhi yafuna ukuhlela kabusha. Kamuva ngonyaka, noma kunjalo, ukhenketho lukaJacsonson lwaphuma ngokuphelele ebhizinisini futhi lwavala izitolo ezingu-18 ezisele.
Ifa
Ngenkathi ezinye zezindawo zangaphambili zaseMichigan zaseMichigan zabhujiswa, ezinye zathola impilo entsha.
I-Von Maur chain yaxoshwa ekuthatheleni izindawo ezimbalwa zokudayisa izindawo ezakhiwe ezitolo zikaJacsonson: uLaurel Park Indawo eLibonia naseBriarwood Mall e-Ann Arbor. Indawo yangempela kaJakobeson enyakatho yedolobha lase-Ann Arbor manje yiMingcele. Iningi lwakamuva isakhiwo sikaJacson-iminyaka engamasonto ayisikhombisa esisedolobheni laseSaginaw sithengiwe ukudala Isikhungo SamaKristu Esisha Sesivumelwano. Isikhungo sizofaka indawo yokudlela, isitolo sezincwadi kanye nesikhungo sokukhulekela se-3,000.
Ukuvuswa
Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ukuhlonipha umzila wesitolo omdala wesigodi noma ukuzama ukusizakala ngokulandela okulandelayo, umculi we-Jacobson omdala waseFlorida wathengisa igama likaJacobson ngo-25 000. UTammy noJon Giaimo bagcina sebevula i-Jacobson entsha e-Winter Park, eFlorida. Ngaphandle kwegama, abanikazi abasha bazama ukuthatha ezinye zezimfanelo ezikhethiwe zethungathini zangaphambili, kufaka phakathi i-penchant yesitolo yamalebula womklami kanye nensizakalo yokuthenga yezodwa.
Ngeshwa, impahla yokuqala yakwa-Jacobson enyakatho ye-Winter Park yayisivele ivuselelwa, okwakushiya abanikazi abasha ukuvula isitolo endaweni encane (cishe ½ ubukhulu) endaweni efanayo. Uhlelo lwabo lokuqala kwakuwukuvula izitolo eziningi zikaJacobson ezimakethe zangaphambili zezinketho; kodwa emva kweminyaka eminingana ebhizinisini, i-Jacobson entsha e-Winter Park yayisenzo se-solo. Manje ivaliwe unomphela.
