When I think of Macy’s the first word that comes to mind is “Department Store”. A word that you don’t hear said very often. Or you might consider them a one-stop shop for all your needs. Now you might hear them referred to as “Premier Retailers”. Think about it where else can you shop for fashion clothing to fine china to bathroom organizers. And never have to leave MACY’S to get any of that.
The History of MACY’S
Macy’s first opened on 14th street and 6th Avenue in New York City in 1858. Image Macy’s opened as a small, fancy dry goods store and grown into its role now as one of the largest retailers in the world.
Macy’s has achieved many first that changed the retail industry. They were the first to promote a woman, Margaret Getchell to an executive position. This made business history. They also pioneered the business practices of the one-price system. This is where the same item was sold to every customer at one price. And quoting specific prices for goods in newspaper advertising. Known for its creative merchandising, Macy’s was the first to introduce such products as the Idaho baked potato and colored bath towels. Macy’s also was the first retailer to hold a New York City liquor license.
By November 1902, the store had outgrown its modest storefront and moved uptown to its present Herald Square location on Broadway and 34th Street, establishing an attraction for shoppers from around the world. With the store’s 7th Avenue expansion completed in 1924, Macy’s Herald Square became the “World’s Largest Store,” with more than 1 million square feet of retail space. Note that Macy’s Herald Square expanded to 1.1 million square feet of retail space in the renovation project unveiled in 2015.
And I must mention the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Of course, the parade is presented by Macy’s. The tradition started in 1924. Tying it for the second oldest Thanksgiving Day Parade in the United States.
