Jack Krawcheck was born in Poland in 1899. He grew up in Charleston, South Carolina, and opened (1922) a men's clothing store called Jack's Clothiers at 407 King Street. In 1938, Krawcheck renovated a dilapidated 1812 building at 313 King Street, saving the original façade as a testament to old Charleston style. He was presented the first Carolopolis Award by the Preservation Society of Charleston for his efforts, and his business there opened in 1939. The business later expanded to area shopping centers and eventually added boys' and women's wear.
Jack Krawcheck's closed in 1995 after more than seventy years of business in Charleston.
