After the Brody family sold the Capitol Department Store to Alden’s of Chicago in 1964, Abram Brody continued to operate a shoe concession stand within the building. When the Capitol relocated to Jessamine Mall in 1980, the shoe stand became Abram Brody’s Shoes. In 1983, the store was absorbed as part of the new Brody’s On Main Department Store.
