History

The A & W Management Company was founded in 1950 by Aaron & William Gershenson. They developed more than 70 shopping centers in the Midwest over nearly half a century. The original founders stepped down in 1975, succeeded by William's sons and one unrelated associate. The company was renamed, Ramco-Gershenson, Inc.

The company and 22 key properties merged with RPS Realty Trust on May 1, 1996. The resulting company was named, Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust and has expanded by both asset management and acquisition.
