About Macys

Macy’s is a chain of mid to high end department stores across the United States that sell clothing, accessories and household goods. They are mainly found as anchor stores in malls but can also be found standing on their own. The store prides itself on selling exclusive name brand items.

The Macy’s store began in 1858 when it was founded by Rowland Hussey Macy with its store being built on the corner of 14th and 6th Avenue. On its first day the store saw a sales total of $11.06 which was not bad at all for its time. The logos of the Macy’s stores always include a star which is representative of a tattoo that Rowland Macy received when he was a teenager.

In 2008 Macy’s celebrated its 150th anniversary making it one of the oldest department stores in the United States. The company celebrated by launching a commercial that featured old commercial that were once used and clips from past Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parades. The commercial thanked its customers for their patronage over the past 150 years.

In 2009 Macy’s opened its first Lifestyle store in Gilbert, Arizona. The store is designed to compete with stores such as Kohls and J.C. Penney by compacting their goods and featuring Starbucks Coffee Cafes with Wi-Fi, and dressing rooms outfitted with sofas and TVs to make them feel like lounges rather than basic fitting rooms. The company plans to open more Lifestyle stores across the country where demand is found.
