These are 183 stores confirmed to be part of the F200 list that Macy's is invested in. If anyone has any thoughts about stores that are omitted or some that need to be removed, let me know. If you work at one of these stores, but feel that sales have been slowing down a little, let me know also. (An employee told me about slow sales for the Pearland location that is supposedly F125). This is not some Macys corporate social experiment but I am actually researching so let me know any thoughts about this list.

All in all, the some stores in F125 may need to be in NN75, and vice versa, but these 180 or so stores all definitely part of the F200 list that they are invested in.

I have counted to be 183, tho I may be wrong.


STORES IN FLORIDA - Pairing back - How is now vs. the Burdine's days ?

Well. we miss Burdine's. They were the Florida store, and traveling there, from New York, we always knew the store (even as Federated) was somewhat unique...not like the old days, but a differentiating experiences. How are things now after seeing some of the doors re-adjust in numbers and went through the closures ? Anyone care to offer some thoughts ?


Sit down restaurants, & full service dining !

Well, under the legacy nameplates, a big part of the department store shopping experience was enjoying the full-service sit down restaurants in-store. Bloomingdale's I believe still runs their restaurants in house. However Macy's, unlike many of the legacy nameplates with the exception of the former Marshall Field's, Walnut Room (was run in-house) and lease-op Herald Square restaurants,Rockaway,NJ and perhaps a few others are all there is.

What are your thoughts ? When these restaurants were well operated, they drove traffic ! (Yes, I know the food courts changed the business in the 80's, but respectfully, some insight and other contribution and opinion would be appreciated.


Floor Moves

I'll just say it.
These stores could change their flow upside down and inside out...it still wont change your sh**ty, nonexistent Selling Culture. Macys only solution to falling sales are floor moves. Change that!
Especially considering the flow and assortment at most Dillards have remained consistent for decades. Thats department store excels at customer service, those associates literally greet me at the door. The insanity of floor moves every quarter has got to stop!! Who isnt getting their job right the first time?!


How did this happen?

Who's to blame? Ten years ago, the idea of something like this happening to Saks would be laughed at. It takes especially incompetent leadership to bring us to this point. We're losing our jobs because of them. This makes me both so sad and angry. This could and should have been avoided.


I volunteer my location to be closed

We make good money, have great foot traffic, but just a few of us are keeping things running. The others don't give a damn and all they do is pretend to be busy until they can leave. I'm tired of making money for people like that. Close us down. I'll be okay. Let them try and find another place where they'll be able to work like that.

HOMEMADE RETURN SIGN @ CUSTOMER SERVICE DESK!

I couldn’t believe that I have been shopping at this store in northern Virginia for over 20 years. And anytime I had a return I would go to the customer service desk, especially if I was in a hurry or on a lunch break from work. The new people they hired are so inapt.. They don’t know how to do returns or they refuse to do returns and all they do is laugh and giggle behind the desk. They made me go all the way up to the third floor to return a dress and a lipstick that I bought ONLINE. I will only shop going forward at Bloomingdales. That store has really gone downhill with a caliber of people and employees that they hire very disappointing


The "First 50" Initiative

Can someone list "First 50" Initiative stores that have been revamped? Is there any in Massachusetts or New England region?

I have visited Nashua and Manchester NH locations and I hope these locations are not on the list. They need help, and corporate needs to step up to meet the needs of the store associates.
