Macy's has horrible/ugly clothes & shoes. The foot traffic in the Macy's in Taunton Mass has fallen off. I personally do not understand the need to have freakin' Macy's stores all over the damn country ! I have not been impressed with their inventory and I never will ! Give me Filene's ANY day. Macy's inventory doesn't even compare to the old Jordan Marsh stores either. Enough said.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33892521.post-70001853762518581412007-10-27T10:20:00.000-05:002007-10-27T10:20:00.000-05:00I disagree with the logic of Federated rebranding ...I disagree with the logic of Federated rebranding all of their mid-price stores Macy's. Doing so threw out a century of local-market good will in markets like Chicago. It would have made more sense to run the same advertisements in every market ending with graphics, voiceover, etc. stating "Marshall Field's, part of the Macy's family" or "The Bon Marche, part of the Macy's family". Stage stores does this with their tv advertisements, where they run the same ad in different markets only changing the voiceover and graphics for "Palais Royal", "Stage", or "Bealls" depending on the market.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33892521.post-6859822117773561052007-10-26T07:26:00.000-05:002007-10-26T07:26:00.000-05:00I haven't heard too much grumbling about Foley's h...I haven't heard too much grumbling about Foley's here in Texas becoming Macy's. But it wasn't quite a landmark here. I wonder, for example, if people in DC are still calling the Hecht's building downtown the Hecht's building.
