I am wondering what is the deal with Macy's? What is up with their company right now? I heard Macy's used to look for high population areas, but then seeing how Macy's is in some parts of Montana, Hawaii, and other under populated areas I think income is more important. I mean Macy's is in Hilo and there is hardly any population there.
Anyways, I think Macy's is a great store. It's one of the desirable chain stores I like.
But how do they end up in undesirable cities and yet also appear in desirable cities?
They bought out Foley's and I think something else. Store is crap now minus a few locations.
Hardly crap unless you opt more toward Bloomingdale's or Neiman Marcus. It's the best place for sales on quality name-brand clothing versus cheap throw-aways sold at stores like Kohls, Target, WalMart of Sears.

Yeah, I tend to go for more quality over quantity.
Also, I don't mean that in a rude or snobbish way. My closet isn't that big but most of the items I have cost me a pretty penny but are several years old (minus all my band t-shirts and jorts lol)
Macy's is anywhere there's a mall. It's not an exclusive brand although they do sell top designer in rich areas that you wouldn't get in their other locations.

Not in every mall. Some malls will have Sears and JCPenneys. Some will have Sears, JCPenneys, and Dillards. Others Sears, JCPenneys, and Herbergers.

Desirable is where alot of people want to live. People who are willing to pay good money to live somewhere. I should say less desirable for the other community. Communities that might be affordable and have lower paying jobs, but aren't the most beautiful, entertaining, safe, or enjoyable community.
They have different tiers of stores in different demographic environments. Don't expect a Macy's in Montana to offer the same "product" as the Macy's on W 34th.

Oh, care to explain this more?
That makes sense. Is this why people say one market is a tier 1, one is a a tier 2, and tier 3....
I guess Macy's can adapt to different demographic environments.
Macy's bought lots of local department stores and chains. Here in the Twin Cities, they bought Dayton's, once the cities' premier department stores. Now that they are Macy's, their service, selection and quality have declined. Used to shop at Dayton's a lot, but mostly I'll go to Kohl's before I'll go to Macy's. Nothing special about it.
