Burdines

Burdines (English: ) was an American department store chain founded in 1898 by William M. and John Burdine. It operated exclusively in Florida, with its flagship store and headquarters both located in Miami. It evolved from a "carriage trade" shop into a full-line department store chain nicknamed "The Florida Store", decorated with palm trees in the center of the store, painted in pink and blue, and other subtropical colors and motifs. The chain was purchased by Federated Department Stores in 1956; it co-branded the chain as Burdines–Macy's in 2004, and dissolved the Burdines brand completely with its full conversion to Macy's in 2005.
