Our Story
From
Canal Street
to the modern South.
Founded in New Orleans in 1900, Gus Mayer arrived in Birmingham in 1922. The store moved with the city, from Fifth Avenue North to Highland Avenue, Brookwood and, today, The Summit. In 1975, the Pizitz family became the store’s steward and later added Nashville.
What has endured is more meaningful than any address: an independent spirit, an exacting eye and relationships that span generations.
