Auerbach's and ZCMI Memories
Synopsis
Throughout most of the 20th century, two rival department stores dominated Salt Lake City, but by 2017 all that remained of them was the façade of ZCMI.

The name ZCMI remained until 2002 when it was changed to Meier and Frank. Auerbach's was the other major department store in Utah. Frederick and Samuel Auerbach's began the Salt Lake City store in 1879. It flourished in two different locations until it closing in February 1979. This KUED production documents both of these grand and iconic Utah department stores through memories of those who shopped and worked in them. interviews clips focus on ZCMI's Christmas windows, the hot dog stand in the basement, and the Tiffen Room restaurant. Former shoppers at Auerbach's remember the elegant Crystal Room and the giant chandeliers and much more.
