Neisner's #25 was a Neisner Brothers variety store located at 424 Main Street in Racine, Wisconsin.[1][2] The chain's first and only location in the state of Wisconsin, it held an opening ceremony on April 22, 1927, with normal operations beginning the following day.[3] On April 17, 1940, the store was destroyed by fire and quickly rebuilt, with a new store opening on October 5 of that year.[4] The store closed at the end of 1971,[5] and the building was later used as a warehouse by the Hoffman Furniture Company, which also occupied the former Sears building at 317 Main Street.[6]
