Media Images Dorris-Heyman Furniture Store: Goldwater's Department Store originally opened in Prescott, Arizona, but eventually opened alongside the Dorris-Heyman Furniture Store in downtown Phoenix. The new company is headed by Michael Goldwater's granddaughter, Carolyn Goldwater Ross. The Goldwater family reclaimed the old store's logo in 1989 and opened a new food company called Goldwater's Foods. The remaining branches of the stores are now Macy's. Eventually, the Goldwater's Department Stores were sold to Associated Dry Goods.
Michael's sons opened the famous Goldwater's Department Store of Phoenix in 1896. With the success of the new store, Michael Goldwater retired in 1883. Again in 1879, Morris Goldwater opened a new store in Prescott, Arizona. The store suffered from low profits and closed in 1875. In 1872, the first Phoenix Goldwater store opened with Michael Goldwater's son, Morris managing it. The Goldwaters had a Los Angeles capitalist partner, Bernard Cohn, for the first store. While in Arizona, the Goldwaters opened a store in La Paz, Arizona, in 1862. In 1860, Big Mike took a wagon of goods to Gila City, Arizona, a small mining town. The Goldwaters moved to Los Angeles in 1857 to operate a billiard parlor and dry goods store. In 1852, Michael's family and his brother, Joseph "Little Joe" Goldwater, moved to the United States. He married Sarah Nathan in 1850, and they had eight children together. Michael Goldwater, whose original name was Michael Goldvasser, was born in Poland. Goldwater's was a fine department store with several locations throughout the Phoenix Valley area from the mid-1890s to the mid-1960s when it was sold to Associated Dry Goods.
