Macy's to shut down 11 stores

[PeppyGPhiB]

Macy's at the malls I shop at in the Seattle area are fine, and I shop there about the same amount as I do Nordstrom. But I never buy things at Macy's at full-price (they're always having a sale), and I buy all my shoes and most of my cosmetics at Nordstrom. I buy the occasional trinket at Barney's downtown, but mostly just window shop there...sigh. I NEVER shop at JC Penney or Kohl's (which just arrived here a few years ago).

Macy's purchased the beloved Bon Marche chain in the Pacific Northwest, but I haven't noticed any difference in the merchandise here.

Macy's is pretty good around these parts, with a decent men's section - I generally stick to Brooks Brothers for my work clothes, but the Macy's around here have Lacoste and other good casual clothes.

My wife and I had one of our registries at Macy's and had a good experience with it - they had most of what we wanted, and apparently they were very helpful with our wedding guests in finding the items on our registry.
