[edit] The Macy's store
Once Foley's is renamed Macy's in September, will the original Macy's store close or be open? Bucs2004 21:12, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
For the time being both locations will remain open and both will be operating as Macy's stores, but I would not count on that being the case for long. Although the current Macy's outlet is listed for divestiture by Federated no date for closure has been announced. Although I am not sure of the reason for the delay, it is likely that Federated is still negotiating lease termination or sale of the property (whichever the case may be) with Simon Property Group who's best interest is to not have a vacant anchor store.
There are several other stores that are on Federated's list for divestiture which also have closing dates listed as "To be determined." Many stores that were listed as such, including the Macy's in San Antonio and Frisco, TX, were given closure dates once the property was sold back to the owner of the mall, in this case General Growth Properties.

I have reordered and tightened the paragraph about the Macy's situation. Hoefully it's more clear.-- Gridlock Joe 11:38, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
