Dawahares (pronounced DAW-hairs[1]) was an American retail clothing store chain. It was founded by S.F. Dawahare in 1907 in Neon, Kentucky, and remained within the family for four generations.[2][3] In 1979, the company expanded into the Cincinnati, Ohio market by acquiring the five-store Martin's Town & Country chain.[4]
The chain operated nearly 30 stores in Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia,[5] and Ohio.[1] It declared bankruptcy in 2008 and liquidated its 22 remaining stores.[2]
