Levys Clothiers will permanently close its flagship store in late December 2026 after 171 years of operation in Nashville, fifth-generation owners David and Ellen Levy announced. The closure marks the end of one of the oldest continuously operating family-owned department stores in the United States. David Levy cited ongoing health concerns and a desire to spend more time with family as the primary reasons for shuttering the business rather than financial distress.
