dbo:abstract
  • Pizitz was a major regional department store chain in Alabama, with its flagship store in downtown Birmingham. At its peak it operated 12 other stores, mostly in the Birmingham area with several locations in Huntsville and other Alabama cities. The chain was founded as the Louis Pizitz Dry Goods Co. in 1899 on the site of its flagship building in downtown Birmingham. It was sold to McRae's in December 1986, and all former Pizitz stores became McRae's. Many of the former Pizitz locations are now closed, but the Pizitz family (via Pizitz Management Group) still owns the buildings of most of its former stores. This became an issue when the McRae's chain was sold to Belk Department Stores of Charlotte, North Carolina in 2005. Louis Pizitz Middle School is built on land donated by the Pizitz family. (en)
  • Pizitz was een grote regionale warenhuisketen in Alabama, met zijn vlaggenschipwinkel in het centrum van Birmingham. Op zijn hoogtepunt had het 12 filialen, voornamelijk in de omgeving van Birmingham en verschillende locaties in Huntsville en andere steden in Alabama. De keten werd in 1899 opgericht als Louis Pizitz Dry Goods Co. op de plaats van het vlaggenschipgebouw in het centrum van Birmingham. Het werd in december 1986 verkocht aan McRae's en alle voormalige Pizitz-winkels werden omgedoopt tot McRae's. Veel van de voormalige Pizitz-locaties zijn nu gesloten, maar de familie Pizitz bezit (via Pizitz Management Group) nog steeds de gebouwen van de meeste van haar voormalige winkels. Dit werd een probleem toen de warenhuisketen McRae's keten in 2005 aan Belk Department Stores uit Charlotte (North Carolina) werd verkocht. De Louis Pizitz Middle School is gebouwd op land geschonken door de familie Pizitz. (nl)
