This weeks Casualties. Lord and Taylor and century 21 stores all being liquidated!

My 2021 prediction is JG will exit the big ole M around feb/March . Polaris is just a fancy word slapped to the same ole kicking the can down the street. . He will try to save face when vendors and employees find out he defrauded everyone.

Many have said it but let me reiterate: it's always so much easier to find a job when you already have one. And considering the direction Macy's been heading, we won't be in the "employed" category for much longer. So if you are not already looking... — read more

How is business, and general atmosphere?

Why is this still up for debate?! Is JG really going to keep us open on Thanksgiving during COVID SEASON of all things?! What is the hold up on getting a decision on this. This should be a no brainer!!

Just wondering if anyone out there knows how sales have been with the government stimulus ending. Sounds like people are spending less on groceries. Are they actually spending at Macys?

What do you think sales are going to look like? I think they’re banking on a great holiday season to pay off some debt from what they lost so far this year. I don’t think it’s going to happen.
