Description

More than 110 years ago, in a small but booming railroad community in southside Virginia, W. S. Peebles, Sr., opened his first department store. The year was 1891, and the town was Lawrenceville. This first Peebles Department Store immediately met with great success. Customers appreciated Mr. Peebles' personal approach to service, along with the value of his merchandise, which ranged from farm implements to produce to fine apparel. Over the years, the store prospered and grew, and by 1930, two more stores had been opened along the Atlantic and Danville Railroad line.By this time, four of Mr. Peebles' sons were involved with the business. In 1931, after the deaths of W. S. Peebles, Sr. and his oldest son, the three remaining sons, C. W. Peebles, W. S. Peebles, Jr. and M. W. Peebles took charge of store operations. As the Peebles sons expanded their business into more and more communities, they continued their father's policy of serving the customer with personal attention and the best possible values. In fact, under the enterprising leadership of three generations of the Peebles family, the Company has seen vast growth while maintaining its excellent reputation for outstanding customer service. Even through the Depression and war years, Peebles could always be depended on to fulfill our customers' needs with personal care and concern.Peebles still clings to its tradition of exceptional customer service and community involvement. Peebles now operates more than 170 stores in 23 states, namely, Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia.
