Maas Brothers was a leading Tampa, Florida department store founded by Abe and Isaac Maas in 1886[1] that grew from a small 23-by-90-foot (7.0 by 27.4 m) store to a chain of 39 stores throughout the Gulf Coast of Florida. The Maas Brothers brand went defunct in 1991 when it was consolidated into the Burdines department store chain, which in turn merged with Macy's in 2005.
