Description
Since opening its doors in 1876, A. Schwab Trading Company has been a Beale Street institution. The mercantile stands as the only original business remaining on Beale Street and the oldest store in the Mid-South. Abraham Schwab and succeeding generations of the Schwab family operated the business until 2011 when the iconic Memphis store was sold to new owners. Early business success necessitated a larger storefront along Beale Street. In 1911 the store moved to its current location at 163 Beale, marked by the vintage red neon-lined sign. Schwab's expanded into the neighboring 165 Beale in 1922--displacing a Piggly Wiggly. The two structures still occupied by A Schwab were built prior to 1890 and stand as two of the oldest buildings on Beale. Today, A Schwab Trading Co. specializes in nostalgic items, gifts, and all manner of Memphis memorabilia. "If you can't find it at Schwab's, you're probably better off without it."
The store maintains the Beale Street Museum on the landing area between its first and second floors.
This evening fine art photographic image is the perfect piece of wall art for those who love and/or miss Memphis.
