Everything you need to know about the luxurious Hirshleifers, the last great department store.

Malls have been a part of my life since I can remember. Atlanta, where I grew up, has some well-known ones. Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza sit across from each other on Peachtree street, always crowded, parking an exercise in patience. Growing up, my mother would take my sister and me to meet my dad for dinner in the food court of Northlake Mall in Decatur. Malls make me feel good, I like being in them, I love people-watching in them, I even like shopping in them.
Fourth generation executive Lori Hishleifer runs the place with help from her sisters, husband, niece, and son. The family has built something special and personal, a store that can embrace trends without losing its DNA. They’ve harnessed the power of Instagram without losing sight of old school practices like personal shopping. They continue to expand and offer the newest product without abandoning what they are known for, giving their customers a place to learn and grow stylistically.
Lori appears from her office and greets me with a hug. She is wearing her signature layered jewelry, boots from The Row, and an older Balenciaga top. As we settle into the private shopping room to chat, she gets into the history of the store, which is also her family’s history. "We started over 100 years ago. My great grandfather was a furrier in Brooklyn, and then he and my grandmother moved into suits, dresses, and ready-to-wear in Forest Hills," she said.
