Emily Shop was a ladies clothing boutique located at 1001 20th Street South, on the southeast corner of 10th Avenue South. It was owned by Julian Aland and later by his son-in-law Ted Abrams.
The shop opened for business at the other end of the block, at 1029 20th Street South, in September 1931.
Abrams was skeptical about the prospect of Kahn Properties' Pickwick Place adjacent to his store, saying that the planned 150-space parking deck might not be adequate to serve the district.
The Emily Shop closed after extensive storm damage in 1996.
The space was later leased by The Break pool hall, which relocated from Lakeview. The building was demolished in 2019 for construction of the 17-story 1001 20th Street South residential tower.
