Dry Goods USA | 4,173 followers on LinkedIn. A new generation of stores! Where fashion-forward style meets old-fashioned customer service. | It all began as a dry goods store... Situated in a 20’ x 50’ rented storefront in downtown Davenport, Iowa, the first Von Maur store was founded back in 1872. With all of that history to inspire us, we created Dry Goods to bring our tradition of old-fashioned customer service to a new generation of customers.
