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.
Known for its creative merchandising, Macyâs was the first to introduce such products as the tea bag, the Idaho baked potato and colored bath towels. Macyâs 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.
