Founded in 1898 by William Lapedes, the Lapedes family began selling clothing and dry goods to
farmers around the Dayton area from a wagon. In the early 1900s, they
opened the LION STORE downtown on Jefferson Street and began selling
men's clothing. Over time the business evolved to selling service
station and other types of uniforms. Lion Apparel Inc. continues to do business to this day with headquarters in Dayton and an old world set of beliefs and values.
