He was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Some of the marketing history is that Wanamaker opened his first store in 1861, called 'Oak Hall', at Sixth and Market Streets in Philadelphia, which was adjacent to the site of George Washington's Presidential home. In 1869, he opened his second store at 818 Chestnut Street renaming the company John Wanamaker & Co., and in 1875 he purchased an abandoned railroad depot, converting it into a large store called John Wanamaker & Co., and 'The Grand Depot' is considered the first department store in Philadelphia.)
