John Ward, the owner of Davis Jeans & Fashion, celebrates 100 years of business.
Davis Dry Goods opened for business in 1922 in a burgeoning Ben Davis suburb. Oscar Davis owned and operated the West Washington Street storefront until 1986. “We hear stories from current and former residents,” says Ward. They remember back-to-school shopping at Davis with Oscar––himself––helping with their purchase.
The Ward Family purchased the store from Oscar and remained committed to excellent service and products. Davis became a destination for Hoosiers as the state’s largest retailer of Levi Strauss. Today, Davis Jean & Fashion offers a trendy brand variety––from Dickies to Carhart––and a nostalgic shopping experience.
