This article provides a history of Mills, Halifax's oldest retail store that was opened in 1919 by brothers Hugh and Willet Mills. It details how Mills brought in high-end European fashion lines not otherwise available in Halifax at the time. The article discusses how Mills has changed over its 93-year history from a multi-level department store to now housing ladies wear, cosmetics and lingerie departments. It notes the store was purchased in 2007 by Mickey MacDonald and is now undergoing another ownership change as it was recently sold to four new fashionable professional owners, marking another change in Mills' long legacy.
