The store became the largest drapery/department store in the [[Austro-Hungarian Empire]] by 1892. After August's death, his nephews and later other relatives took over the management, with various expansions and renovations taking place over the years. The store was "[[Aryanization|Aryanized]]" during the [[Austria within Nazi Germany|Nazi period]] but was later returned to its rightful owner, Max Delfiner, in 1948. After several changes in ownership, mergers, and modernizations, the Herzmansky department store closed in 1997. The site was sold to the Düsseldorf fashion chain Peek & Cloppenburg in 1998, ending the Herzmansky department store's long history. The original building on Stiftgasse still stands, preserving its exterior appearance.
