Established in 1854 by two immigrants, Samuel Carson and John T. Pirie, as a dry goods store in central Illinois. In 1864, CPS opened a store in Chicago. In 1907 CPS took over the long-term lease on the Schlesinger and Mayer building at State Street and Madison Street in Chicago for which Carson's became famous. CPS closed this store in 2007, but other CPS stores, primarily in the Chicago area, continued to operate.
