Meier & Frank was an American department store chain founded in 1857 by Aaron Meier. He partnered with Emil and Sigmund Frank in the early history of the company, and opened the Meier & Frank Building flagship store in Portland, Oregon in 1909. It expanded throughout Oregon in the second half of the 20th century, facilitated by its acquisition by The May Department Stores Company in 1966, and entered Utah with the rebranding of ZCMI in 2001. May was acquired by Federated Department Stores in 2005, which dissolved Meier & Frank with its conversion to Macy's in 2006.
