Dawahares (pronounced DAW-hairs[1]) was an American retail clothing department store chain.

It was founded by Sarur Frank (S. F.) Dawahare, who immigrated from Syria in 1907 in Neon, Kentucky, and remained within the family for four generations.

[2][3][4] In 1979, the company expanded into the Cincinnati, Ohio market by acquiring the five-store Martin's Town & Country chain.
