History

Established in 1903.

The story of H. Stadiem Duprees is a generational one, the story of a business handed down to sons over the span of a century. Its building is a landmark, proudly standing in Kinston’s downtown on the same spot where Hyman Stadiem first opened a clothing store in 1903.

The Greensboro native, barely out of his teens, chose Kinston for its potential and for its central location among eastern North Carolina towns.

In 1934, just as the country was rounding the corner of the Great Depression, Hyman handed control of the store to Jacob & David.

The store’s 35,000 square feet hold a large selection of men’s and boys’ apparel and shoes for the entire family. While the store successfully expanded into infant furniture and clothing.

Though the store is looking ahead, it has also retained its Boy Scout uniform items and camping gear. H. Stadiem has been a distributor for the Scouts since 1920.
