The Jones Store Co. (or simply Jones), was a chain of department stores in Missouri and Kansas founded in 1887 as an 800-ft store in Stafford Kansas, by J. Logan Jones. In 1902, a massive 500,000 sq ft 7-story building in downtown Kansas City, Missouri was leased by Jones. Despite many retailers leaving the downtown area, the downtown flagship store stayed open until early 1998. The building would later be demolished in 2005. Locations of The Jones Store operating in malls were re-branded as Macy*s in September 2006, after a merger between May Dept Stores and Federated Dept Stores in 2005. This marked the second entry to Kansas City for Macy*s, after all their locations had been replaced by Dillard's in the mid-1980s.
