B. Kuppenheimer & Co. was founded in 1876 by Bernard Kuppenheimer and was run by him, his son Jonas Kuppenheimer, and Samuel Nathan. The business started in Chicago on Wabash Ave. In 1906, the company operated "The House of Kuppenheimer" branches in Boston and New York, with sales in Washington D.C. During World War I, Kuppenheimer manufactured uniforms for the U.S. Army. 
The Men's Warehouse purchased Kuppenheimer & Co. in 1997. Kuppenheimer & Co. consisted of 43 men's clothing stores mainly in the Chicago, St. Louis, and Atlanta areas and the manufacturing facilities. Men's Warehouse closed the remaining stores and folded the business into its own by liquidating the remaining assets.
