Waldoff's

Waldoff's was a department store with locations in Hattiesburg and Biloxi. The first store was opened by Paul and Abe Waldoff in 1924 on Batson Street in downtown Hattiesburg. Eventually, Paul's son Milton Waldoff began to run the stores. Another store, Milton's Ltd, opened on Hardy Street, as well as another Waldoff's store in the Edgewater Mall in Biloxi. In 1974 the downtown store was moved into a much larger location at the new Cloverleaf Mall. The last Waldoff's store closed in 1994.
