The Jones Store Company was a chain of department stores located in the Kansas City area formerly operated by Mercantile Stores Company and the St. Louis, Missouri-based May Co.
The Jones Store Co. was founded in 1887 by J. Logan Jones, as Jones Dry Goods Company. The flagship store, which operated from 1901 until January 1998, was at 12th and Main streets in Downtown Kansas City, Mo.
The Jones Store became a division of Mercantile Stores Company in the early 1960s. It was acquired by May Department Stores in 1998 after the Dillard's acquisition of Mercantile, and integrated into the company's Famous-Barr division. On August 30, 2005, it became part of Federated with that company's acquisition of May. On February 1, 2006, The Jones Store Co. was assumed by the new Macy's Midwest division of Federated.
On September 9th 2006, The Jones Store Co. name was phased out in favor of the Macy's nameplate, marking Macy's second entry into Kansas City.
