Macy’s celebrates 150 years in retail

Macy’s 150th anniversary saw fireworks, celebrities and the renaming of the street that its flagship Herald Square location stands on in NYC to R.H. Macy Way in honor of its founder. The celebrations also saw the opening of a new store (pictured) in a lifestyle mall in Tampa, Fla., which had a turnout of more than 400 people.

By MIKE  TROY
Macy’s observed its 150th anniversary last month in grand style with some high-profile events in Manhattan, where celebrities such as Jessica Simpson, Sean “Diddy” Combs, Martha Stewart and Tommy Hilfiger stopped by to wish the company well. The section of 34th street where the company’s headquarters is located was temporarily renamed R.H. Macy Way, the nearby Empire State Building was lit in red and a fireworks display followed that evening from atop the flagship Herald Square store.
