Foleys Pins and Buttons

Remembering Foley’s Department Store with their great fun 70s style logo. If you're from the South, especially Houston, Texas, chances are you're familiar with the former department store giant. In 1947 Foley's opened at 1110 Main Street in downtown Houston. They spent $13 million to build this new store, which was heralded by the press as the nation's "most modern department store." There are no windows because the owners wanted to emphasize the fact that it was fully climate controlled. The state-of-the-art department store was a local hit for decades before succumbing to the wrecking ball in 2013.  Foley's operated stores in Texas, Colorado, Louisiana, Oklahoma and New Mexico.
