... However, I just don't see the big deal about Best Buy. To be fair I thought both were overpriced. I do agree, Circuit City caused their own problems but...
... I think they originally were cheaper than anybody else, but that's not really the case these days. I think some of it has to do with manufacturers fixing...
... Licking County Was formed March 1, 1808, it was named after the salt licks that was in the area. It has 688 sq. miles. The county seat is Newark. ... ...
Macy's is cutting 7000 employees, about 4% of staff, mostly at headquarters. Evidently all the division functions are being consolidated to New York-buying,...
... I read an article that said, 5,000 of the cuts are in stores, with the rest being at headquarters. They should probably cut Miami, but they should have...
If 5000 of the cuts are store level, then service suffers, which is already a Macy's criticism. How do you justify being priced above the discounters when you...
Has anyone ever heard of a series of outlet malls called Outlets Ltd. Mall? I have found several of them scattered about the US, and all of them appear to be...

Of all the traditional department stores chains, I think Macy's is the only one in a position to be able to obtain financing that would head off a bankruptcy,...
... If I remember correctly, there was a Rich's store at the mall at Hilton Head, SC. Perhaps that's why they chose the Rich's banner for Savannah? Besides,...
The Mall at Shelter Cove was supposed to have Rich's, but I think they decided on Savannah instead, Hilton Head ended up with Belk and a Saks at Shelter Cove....
Federated chains inhabited an upper middle niche that was resistant to competition from discounters (unlike May's basement store days and chains like...
Macys is held in high regard out west (really, just in California...), but when it really comes down to it, they are just another department store. The Macys...
... That's the same feeling I had about Marshall Field's, actually, when they used to have stores around here. I think a lot of what people complain about is...
... There is some truth to the State Street Fields flagship being more downmarket as a Macy's, but Macy's was often more downmaket than the carriage trade...
... I agree, but purely from an image standpoint I think Macy's had an image of themselves of being in the same upper middle class niche Federated was in...
... I remember Higbee's was always held in very high regard as was Lazarus back in those days. Higbee's might have been a little more upscale because...
... Another oddity I just thought of ... At one point, Higbee's was going to open a store in Columbus via a new mall that Federated was planning to build in...
Goodbye, City Center A Downtown gem when it opened in 1989, the forlorn mall will be torn down by summer Wednesday, February 4, 2009 12:01 AM By Marla...
I should point out that R.H. Macy tried to compete on the same level as Federated in Atlanta with its Davision's and Macy's banners. The only store in Atlanta...
... I think that's accurate, especially in light of the fact that Lazarus and Goldsmith's are both run out of Atlanta; Burdine's has always had the same niche,...
interesting. Higbee's was part of the AMC buying co-op that was started by Federated. The AMC name was used on hard goods and things like notions, paint and...
Bon Marche was more in a May mode. I forget who originally owned them-- most likely Allied. When the name change came, they moved the merchandise upscale a bit...
I'm somewhat surprised that the Bon was more downmarket than Frederick&Nelson, but Seattle was built on shipping, Boeing, and timber, so the area was more...
Yep, there was one in Kennesaw just north of Town Center Mall. What makes them really sad is they are where Linen N Things really got their start...now look...
