History
editHirshleifers was started in 1910 as J. Hirshleifer by Jewish immigrant Jacob Hirshleifer, originally from Austrian Galicia, in 1870. When his son joined the family business, initially a furrier, in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, it was renamed J. Hirshleifer & Son.[6] The company was incorporated in Manhasset, New York on October 28, 1962 upon moving to the new department store location.
