The chain ceased operations in 1994 . Timeline of store history 1849 - Horne's began operations, and became a leading Pittsburgh department store. 1922 - A new central location was built at Penn Avenue and Stanwix Street in Downtown Pittsburgh . 1972 - Associated Dry Goods acquired Horne's. The company expanded operations to several stores in suburban malls throughout the Pittsburgh region as well as in Erie, Pennsylvania and Northeast Ohio . 1986 - In December 1986, Horne's was acquired by a local investor group after ADG's acquisition by May Department Stores , already the owner of cross-town rival Kaufmann's . 1994 - Federated Department Stores acquired Horne's remaining ten stores and merged them with its Lazarus division, completely ceasing all operations of any store under the Horne's name. In Pittsburgh , the Horne's store was best known for its annual Christmas Tree lighting ceremony. Even after the downtown store closed, the tradition of lighting a Christmas tree at the Horne's building continues every year as the focal point of Pittsburgh's Light-Up Night celebration, typically held the Friday before Thanksgiving.
