Macy's Midwest

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Macy's Midwest, St. Louis, Missouri, is a division of Federated Department Stores. It has operations in New York, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. It was created February 1, 2006 from a reorganization of the Famous-Barr division acquired August 30, 2005 with May Department Stores. It also incorporated the Macy's stores operating in western Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh) and the majority of the Kaufmann's stores operated by Filene's. An additional realignment of store operations with Macy's South and Macy's North occurred July 30, 2006, with a further transfer of stores with Macy's South to occur by early 2007. At that time Macy's Midwest is expected to operate approximately stores. On September 9, 2006, the Famous-Barr, L.S. Ayres, The Jones Store and Kaufmann's nameplates were phased out in favor of the nationally known Macy's.

[edit] History

There was a prior division of R.H. Macy & Co., Inc. named Macy's Midwest that was headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri. It operated stores in Kansas, Missouri and Ohio. The former Midwest division itself was formed from a consolidation of two Macy's divisions, LaSalle's and Macy's Missouri-Kansas, in 1981. It was merged with Davison's to former Macy's Atlanta on February 1, 1985. Its former LaSalle's stores were sold to Elder-Beerman later that year and its former Kansas and Missouri stores were sold to Dillard's in 1986.

The present Macy's Midwest incorporates several historic department store franchises, Famous-Barr, L.S. Ayres, The Jones Store, Kaufmann's, May Company Ohio, O'Neils and Strouss.
