Arnold Levinson opened the original Brittons on 1337 Main Street on July 28, 1947, with a vision to offer style and quality. In 1954, the store introduced ladies' clothing after Arnold purchased madras shorts for his wife, Faye, which became an instant sensation. Between 1958 and 1969, Brittons established a second store at Dutch Square, SC's first enclosed mall. Lucky Levinson joined the family business in 1973, and Perry Lancaster joined the team in 1975. During the 1970s and 1980s, Arnold brought designers like Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan, Giorgio Armani, and Calvin Klein to SC. Stacy Levinson joined in 1990, and the store moved to its current location at 2818 Devine Street in 1996.
