Our Neiman-Marcus origin story continues!
With nearly 1 million dollars in capital (in today’s money – at the time it was a combined savings and $25,000 buy-out of their Atlanta marketing business), Herbert and Carrie Marcus and their respective spouses, Minnie Lichtenstein and Al Neiman, built the flagship Neiman-Marcus store on Elm Street. Neither Carrie nor Herbert were at the huge opening day festivities due to surgery (Carrie) and typhus (Herbert).
