The store later moved to 6301 Easton Avenue, which is also known as Dr. Martin Luther King Drive, in 1948. Hyme's sons, Louis and Milton, worked in the store and in the 1950s and 1960s, the two developed the Crestwood Plaza Shopping Center and Northwest Plaza Shopping Center. Hyme's grandson, Mark Zorensky would later develop the Saint Louis Galleria. Photograph donated to the St. Louis Mercantile Library by Mark Zorensky.
