stores

Allied Stores Corporation was an American holding company of department store chains based in New York City. It was founded in the 1930s during a period of consolidation in the retail sector by B. E. Puckett. See also Associated Dry Goods. It was the successor to Hahn's Department Stores, a holding company founded in 1928.
In 1981, Allied Stores acquired the 24-year-old retail conglomerate Garfinckel, Brooks Brothers, Miller & Rhoads, Inc. for $228 million (~$664 million in 2024). The acquisition included 178 department stores and 48 specialty shops across 28 states.
In December 1986, Allied Stores was acquired by Campeau Corporation under Canadian entrepreneur Robert Campeau. In April 1988, Campeau merged with Federated Department Stores. Allied and Federated were consolidated in January 1990 after Chapter 11 bankruptcy, although they continued to operate as two distinct companies with their separate portfolios. Federated absorbed Allied when emerging from bankruptcy in February 1992.
