For near.. read morely 40 years, Sharon Luggage & Gifts has been helping people do just that by featuring the best luggage, most functional briefcases and accessories, distinctive gifts, fine writing instruments, and many other special items. Let us do the same for you. THE SHARON LUGGAGE STORY It was 1934, the height of the Great Depression, when Howard L. Steiger did an unusual thing--he opened a business. It was a trunk and leathergoods shop in downtown Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Known as Steiger Brothers and later, Steiger's, the shop did quite well. More variety of merchandise was added over the years, and H. L.'s sons, Howard Paul, and Robert (Bob) were trained in the business. Bob continued in the family business while Howard went on to a successful career as a dermatologist. By 1969, Howard had been practicing medicine in Charlotte, North Carolina for more than 20 years when he decided to take advantage of the opportunity offered by a new shopping mall to be called SouthPark, and open a luggage shop. He worked with Bob and other family members to get things rolling, and settled on the name Sharon Luggage, named after the street on which the mall was located, Sharon Road. Sharon Luggage and Belk Department Store remain as SouthPark's only two original tenants. Uncle Bob & Family 1977 Uncle Bob & Family 1977 As with many downtown areas in the 1970s, Williamsport's downtown changed, and Steiger's closed in 1977. But by that time, Sharon Luggage & Gifts was thriving, and its new president, Paul Steiger, Howard's son, was making great strides with the business. Bob (now affectionately known as Uncle Bob) came to Charlotte to help, opening a store in Greensboro, and operating it until his semi-retirement in the late 1980s. Howard worked behind the scenes throughout the 70s, and retired from his practice and most of his involvement in the business in the late 80s as well. By then, Ed Shaw and Logan Howe had been on board as executives for several years, and Paul, Ed, and Logan greatly expanded the business. By 2000, Sharon Luggage & Gifts included 16 stores in North and South Carolina, a kiosk called Time To Write devoted to fine writing instruments and timepieces located in the Charlotte Douglas Airport, and a retail website, sharonluggage.com. Then came September 11, 2001. The terrorist attacks brought travel to a virtual standstill, and with it, the travel business. Still mourning the incredible loss of our fellow Americans, Sharon Luggage was forced to close a total of 8 stores throughout 2002. Thanks to our longevity, solid leadership, and the support of our many vendors, Sharon Luggage carried on, and by 2004 had begun to see improvement. By 2007, we were in a position to respond to our customers' requests for more locations, and we added a second store in Raleigh, at the Triangle Town Center. Our many customers have stayed loyal, and we are looking ahead to more stores in the future. Sharon Luggage & Gifts is proud of our heritage, thankful to our customers, and excited about the future.
