The von Maur family opened its first store in the late 1800's. The rented store was 20 by 50 feet, located in Davenport, Iowa. We have come a long way since that cozy shop. Today, 37 Von Maur stores are scattered across 15 states: Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma and Wisconsin; and still expanding. Our corporate headquarters and E-commerce store are still proudly located in Davenport, Iowa.
The strength of the Von Maur brand lies in our enjoyable and unique shopping experience. The backbone of this experience is our wide selection of brand-name merchandise, open and attractive store design, amenities that enhance the customer experience and our commitment to excellent customer service.

Hearing the melodious tunes from the live grand piano makes me feel rich as I enter this store. Unfortunately, I'm not. I have one code here: only look at the clearance items. However, that has gotten me some pretty fantastic items at a decent price. This has allowed me to arrive to any fashionable event, clad in my fresh looking new button up. And, when people ask me where I get my clothes, I get to take the pipe out of my mouth and say, "I got it from... (dramatic pause) Von Maur."
Overall: a great store with very helpful and kind employees, but only go here when you have some extra stimulus check money that you need to blow through.
The only reason to go to the mall. Great show selection for the whole family. There is a wide range of clothing options.
Love the quality of clothing and styles you don't see everywhere. Also the sales racks are amazing.
Oh yeah we all like this place, it's my favorite.
