Comment
Théophile Bader and his cousin Alphonse Kahn joined forces in 1893 to take over a "novelty store" and opened their first store in 1894 at 1, rue La Fayette in a 70 m2 space they called "Les Galeries". Both of them were Alsatian Jewish shopkeepers coming from the world of clothing, while their competitors Boucicaut, creator of Bon-Marché, or Jaluzot, founder of Printemps, had previously been salesmen in stores. Their store (Les Galeries Lafayette Haussmann) was initially 70 m2 and gradually expanded with the purchase of the entire building three years after its opening. The store was then renamed "Galeries Lafayette". In 1905, the buildings of 38, 40 and 42 boulevard Haussmann, as well as 15 rue de la Chaussée d'Antin, were also acquired. A huge dome was built in 1912. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galeries_LafayettePrice
