Re: Macy's or Bloomingdales 2 Nov 2011, 15:31 Macy's is the biggest department store chain in the US (I don't count places like Target and Wal-Mart in the department store category) and has a huge selection of mid-range, quality items with a reasonable share of designers represented as well.
Macy's history is a combination of many great retailers forming to become one. Rowland H. Macy opens R.H. Macy & Co. as a dry goods store in New York City in 1858. First-day sales totaled $11.06. First year sales would total $86,000. The Straus family acquired a general partnership with Macy's in 1888. In 1872, the Bloomingdale Brothers, Inc. was founded in New York City by Lyman and Joseph Bloomingdale. First-day sales totaled $3.68. In 1902, Macy's moves to Herald Square in New York City.
