History

Gold and Company was founded by William Gold. The original name was The Peoples' Store until Gold incorporated with his son in 1915, officially naming it Gold and Company. The department store had one location in Lincoln, Nebraska, which was built in 1924. The building grew as the business grew with additions in 1929, 1947, and 1951.

Acquisition by Brandeis

An Omaha-based department store Brandeis merged with Gold's in 1964 to become Brandeis, Gold's Division. Brandeis operated the store for several years until 1980 when the company was shattered also forcing them to sell the downtown Omaha Brandeis flagship shortly after. The former Gold's building is now Gold's Galleria, a mix of retail stores and offices.
