The Jablkowski Brothers Department Store was once the biggest of its kind in eastern EuropeWARSAW, Poland -- The Jablkowski Brothers Department Store was once a Warsaw landmark that revolutionized shopping and brought goods to a modernizing society in the early 20th century. When communism fell in 1989, the Jablkowski family heirs began a long legal struggle to regain their properties. It expanded into the largest and most important department store across Eastern Europe. “It wasn’t just a department store,” but a place that offered up a sense of magic, Lazarewicz said. “We remember the history of the past 100 or so years, and we are very sensitive about the secure functioning of the business," Jablkowski said.
