Sanger-Harris

Sanger-Harris (commonly known as Sanger's or Sanger Harris) was a department store that opened in Dallas, TX in 1961 when 2 stores (Sanger Brothers and A. Harris and Co.) merged together. It was owned by Federated Department Stores until 1987.
== History ==
A. Harris and Co was founded in 1887 in Dallas, TX and Sanger Brothers was founded in 1868 by 4 brothers. Federated acquired Sanger's in 1951 and A. Harris in 1961. The 2 stores were then merged together to create Sanger-Harris. At the time the 2 stores had 2 different flagship stores, but in 1965 they built a new flagship store. They competed with Neiman-Marcus at the time they were open. During the late 70s the company dropped the hyphen from their name.
== Closure ==
Sanger-Harris, at the time owned by Federated decided to drop the Sanger-Harris name all together and instead replaced all the Sanger-Harris stores with Foley's or closed the stores entirely in 1987. Their flagship store was also turned into a Foley's but closed in 1990 and is now the headquarters for DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transmit)
== Legacy ==
Sanger-Harris was known for it's mosaic murals. Many of their former locations had them such as the Red Bird Mall, Valley View, and Six Flags Mall. The downtown stores was also in 2 episodes of Dallas.
