A. Schwab a Memphis treasure being renewed and preserved

Last updated on 05/14/2013 By Catherine Tatum Catherine Tatum

Memphis has a treasure in the landmark store A. Schwab. This store has become a Memphis institution, beloved by many generations. An authentic mercantile experience still greets visitors from around the world. Children of all ages enjoy an assortment of old-fashioned delights. A. Schwab’s original hardwood floors, antique pine display tables (built in the alley behind Beale), old-school merchandise, and rich family history make it one of a kind. I had the privilege to be invited by Terry Saunders to take a tour and see some of the behind the scene developments and to learn what is next for this 136 year old store.

Terry Saunders
Terry Saunders is the new owner of A.Schwab. She is very committed to preserving the history of this institution.

I just love this old pin! Memphis Home of the Blues. Beale Street Heart of the Blues.

Terry  and her team is doing a wonderful job reviving A. Schwab.    It is a work in progress.   There will soon be a soda fountain / restaurant  where everyone can come to hear the Blues!    It has been a treat for me to learn more about A. Schwab.   This is a Memphis treasure that has to be seen!    I’m going to love creating custom gifts for A.Schwab!   Thank you Terry for the tour of A. Schwab.
