1970 Logan, WV - 1997 McCormick's Celebrates 61 Years McCormick's department store is celebrating its 61st anniversary with a celebration sale today and Saturday. McCormick's in downtown Logan was started in 1936 by Mr. and Mrs. C.O. McCormick Sr. and has steadily grown. David and Judy McCormick purchased the business from C.O. McCormick, David's father and uncle, in April 1993. "During the growth we haven't forgotten our commitment to our friends and customers. Therefore, we offer up-to-date selection of merchandise." "We're satisfied only when you're satisfied," said the McCormick's. "There is no celebration like the anniversary sale at McCormick's. When you look at an item here today and Saturday, you don't have to ask if it's on sale. There's's a sea of red and white sales tags here," said an excited David McCormick. Moreover, every lady who walks into McCormick's today will receive a single, long-stemmed rose. Also, a total of $5,000 will be given away at McCormick's today and Saturday. Also, McCormick's will be giving away a $2,000 living room suit from its popular new Clayton Marcus Gallery on its second floor. "We're excited about this year's anniversary sale," said Judy McCormick. "It will be one of our best ever." Back to TOP December 1986, Logan Chamber of Commerce Golden Anniversary Celebration...50 Years McCormick's is a third generation, family owned department store that has been in operation in the same location since April, 1936. The founders of the company were Okey and Cleona McCormick. The block in Logan, West Virginia on which they located contained a hotel, supermarket, bakery and the 20' x 40' storeroom which they leased. The year again was 1936, the investment was $600 and the chances for success seemed slim to none. However, Okey and Cleona believed in working long, hard hours, and most of all, they believed in each other. In 1938, still in the depression years, they traded their small space for he hotel lobby and added furniture to their appliance store. Chances of success still seemed inauspicious, but Mr. and Mrs. McCormick continued to work even harder. In 1942, ladies clothing was added in the same space, and a separate warehouse was leased for furniture. A the end of World War II, Okey Jr. (after four years service in the U.S. Army) and his wife Ernestine joined the family business. Bob McCormick, the youngest son, an his wife Patricia came aboard in 1950 upon completing their education. Thus, for over twenty years three families worked side by side to build our store and company, McCormick's. During those years we saw the business grow into one of the largest department stores in southern West Virginia. In 1949, a completely modern ladies department expanded in the space formerly occupied by the bakery. Children's clothing was also introduced at this time. A men's department and second floor showroom was added in 1953 when the hotel closed. The grocery store closed in 1959 and made the final end of the block available to us. We immediately leased this additional space and began an extensive remodeling project that expanded McCormick's into a three story block-long department store.
