- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about Rich's Department Store. Founded in 1867, Rich's Department Store came to symbolize the retail shopping experience in Atlanta during the twentieth century. Through a commitment to its customers and a strong sense of civic responsibility, Rich's is inextricably linked with the history of the city. Although the Rich's name merged in 2003 with the well-known New York City department store Macy's, generations of shoppers will remember the store as both an integral part of Georgia life and a southern institution.
