Joske's of Texas


Joske Brothers Clothing and Dry Goods Merchants was established in 1873, moving to Alamo Plaza in 1888, where it became known as the “Biggest Store in the Biggest State” until Alaska was admitted to the Union. Then it became “The Greatest Store in the Greatest State.” The small display windows reproduce the famous “Rose Window” at Mission San Jose. Later it housed Dillard’s Department Store. Today, the building remains part of Rivercenter Mall.
