May Company California was a chain of department stores operating in the Southern California and Nevada, previously with headquarters in North Hollywood, California. It was a subsidiary of May Department Stores and merged with May's other Southern California subsidiary, J. W. Robinson's in 1993 to form Robinsons-May.
May Company California had been established back in 1923 when May had acquired the then named A. Hamburger & Sons Co.[1] (founded in 1881 by Asher Hamburger). The company had operated exclusively in Southern California until 1983 when May Department Stores had dissolved Goldwater's, based in Scottsdale, Arizona and transferred its Las Vegas, Nevada store to May Company California.
Two well known stores were the stores on the corners of 8th Street and Broadway, and Wilshire Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue.
