An etching submitted by Jeanie Lowe to Ancestry.com shows the block of stores, including Sommer & Pierik watchmakers and jewelers at 112 South Sixth Street, forming the northern portion of the east side of the central square in Springfield in 1889.

Springfield jeweler and real estate developer John C. Pierik (1859-1920) was one of the main financiers behind the Majestic. His brother-in-law, Cornelius Giblin (1856-1914), a clothing merchant, was the other partner. (Giblin reportedly owned the site where the Majestic was built.)
During the period he co-owned the theater, Pierik served on the board of directors of Ridgely National Bank and on the board of the Springfield Park District. Later, he was among Sangamon County citizens who helped create the Illinois State Museum and Illinois Historical Library in Springfield.
Pierik and another brother-in-law, William Sommer, a former superintendent of the Illinois Watch Co., also operated Sommer & Pierik Jewelers.
