- Levy's (department store)
Levy's, also known as Levy Brothers, was a department store based in Tucson, Arizona, United States. It was founded in 1950 by Jewish brothers Jacob and Ben Levy, who acquired the former Myers & Bloom department store in downtown Tucson.
A second Levy's was later added at El Con Mall, Tucson's oldest shopping mall.[cite web |url=http://www.tucsoncitizen.com/ss/history_culture/66181.php |title=Synagogue's revival celebrated |accessdate=2007-11-20 |last=Vitu |first=Teya |date=2007-10-18 |work=Tucson Citizen] ][cite web |url=http://www.azstarnet.com/sn/printDS/202609 |title=Deserted core of El Con Mall may be razed |accessdate=2007-11-19 |last=Poole |first=B. |date=2007-09-23 |work=Arizona Daily Star] This store was followed by one in Foothills Mall in 1983.]The store at El Con Mall changed names several times. The store was owned by Federated Department Stores, which absorbed it into its other subsidiary (Sanger-Harris) in 1985; Sanger-Harris became Foley's in 1987 and was sold to May Company in 1988. In 1997 May Department Stores absorbed Foley's into its other subsidiary (Robinsons-May), a name which it held until a 2005 conversion to Macy's. This location closed in 2008, and is currently vacant. The Foothills Mall store similarly became Sanger-Harris, and then Foley's; however, it was closed in 1994 as Foley's, and is now divided between Ross Dress for Less and Linens 'n Things.
