Erlick's

Erlick's (originally Erlick & Lefkovits) was a department store that operated in Bessemer from 1889 to 1954.

The store was founded by Samuel Erlick and Sam Lefkovits on Carolina Avenue, but was soon relocated to a two-story building at 1916 2nd Avenue.

The store was acquired from Julian Erlick by Birmingham's Loveman's chain. The remodeled Loveman's store opened on March 29, 1954.
