A shopping tradition, Jacobson's provided luxury merchandise and Michigan memories. Unbeknownst to us in Michigan, however, folks in other states had their own experience with the chain. Care to share your memories of Jacobson's Department Store? Share your memories

Jake's

I was a senior at MSU and had a Jake's charge and I went to buy a new sweater and I was over my limit and the saleslady just handed me the phone and they were so nice I didnt feel like the big loser I should have. Classy place

Expensive

I'd cut through the store to get into the mall at Laurel Park, but I never did buy anything there. It was too expensive and kind of snooty.
