Macys

Macy's, commonly stylized as Macy's, is an American department-store chain and a subsidiary of Macy's, Inc. It operates a nationwide network of stores and an e-commerce site, with its flagship Macy's Herald Square store in New York City regarded as a cultural landmark.

The company traces its origins to Rowland Hussey Macy, who opened R. H. Macy & Co. in New York in 1858. It grew into one of the largest and best-known department-store groups in the United States, expanding across the country through the 20th century. In the 1990s, Macy's became part of Federated Department Stores, and after reorganizations the corporate umbrella adopted Macy's as its primary brand identity.

Macy's, Inc. owns and operates Macy's department stores and also oversees Bloomingdale's and the Bluemercury beauty chain. The company maintains an omnichannel presence, with shopping available at macys.com, a loyalty program branded Star Rewards, and off-price Macy's Backstage outlets as part of its store formats.

Economically, Macy's is one of the largest U.S. department-store operators by revenue and employment. The chain has played a prominent role in American retail culture, including the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, which began in 1924. Macy's is recognized for its fashion, home goods, and seasonal campaigns, and continues to pursue a combination of traditional retail and digital commerce.
