A. Schwab general store on Beale Street

A. Schwab is a historic general store on Beale Street that was founded in 1876 and retains much of its vintage interior and original wooden fixtures. The store's narrow aisles, old-fashioned signage, and façade are frequently photographed by tourists and locals. Those images are commonly shared on social media and sometimes repurposed in posts and memes about vintage American retail or Memphis history.
