With the closings of US legacy stores like Toys 'R' Us and Payless, it's difficult to imagine a retail store lasting more than a few decades. But, there are a handful of stores in the US that are over 100 years old.
Some US stores have failed due to the rise of Amazon and are struggling to keep up with the competition. Meanwhile, some famous brands have weathered the online retail storm and continue to operate successfully today.
From Brooks Brothers to Walgreens, these are the oldest stores still in business.
