Encyclopedia > Bullock's

Bullock's, of Los Angeles, California, was a department store founded in 1907 at Seventh & Broadway in downtown Los Angeles by John G. Bullock, with the support of The Broadway Department Store owner Arthur Letts. In 1923, Bullock and business partner P.G. Winnett bought out Letts' interest after his death and the companies became completely separated. In 1929 Bullock & Winnett opened a luxury branch on Wilshire Boulevard, named, appropriately enough Bullocks Wilshire.

In 1944 Bullock's acquired I. Magnin & Co., a venerable, San Francisco-based luxury chain. This was followed by the acquisition of the then public-owned Bullock's-I. Magnin organization in 1964 by Federated Department Stores, much to the dismay of surviving founder P.G. Winnett, who publicly lambasted the deal (which was initiated by his own son-in-law Bullock's President Walter W. Candy Jr.).

Federated Department Stores, Inc. ...


Bullock's, Bullocks Wilshire and I. Magnin retained their autonomy under Federated, as well as their carriage-trade bent, with I. Magnin expanding into the Chicago and Washington, D.C. metropolitan areas and Bullock's opening stores in Phoenix, Las Vegas and Northern California. In 1983 however, Federated shuttered the Bullock's North division and sold most of its locations to a Seattle, Washington upstart: Nordstrom. And in 1988, after a brusing takeover battle between Robert Campeau and Macy's for Federated, Bullocks and I. Magnin were sold by Campeau to Macy's as a consolation prize.

The end came quickly for Bullock's after that, with the Bullocks Wilshire stores being renamed I. Magnin in 1990, I. Magnin and Bullock's being pruned of their underperforming branches in Macy's bankruptcy, and I. Magnin itself being dissolved in 1995 once Federated Department Stores reappeared on the scene and acquired Macy's.
