Lazarus was an American department store chain founded in 1851 by Simon Lazarus. It was headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, and operated throughout the Midwest. The store was a founding partner of the Federated Department Stores holding company in 1929. Federated rebranded the chain as Lazarus–Macy's in 2003, and dissolved Lazarus completely with its full conversion to Macy's in 2005.
