Similar here in Texas. A lot of Foley's customers were not happy about Macy's taking over and switched to Dillard's. If Macy's had been smart, they would have bought Foley's and let them stay with the name and reputation.

Foley's sucked. I'm glad Macy's took over.

Macy's took over our Burdine's in South Florida. Burdine's was great. I went to them ALL the time to shop. Macy's was only for visiting Aventura Mall.

Now that Burdine's are all Macy's, I haven't been shopping there as much because the clothes selection hasn't been as good until more recently. However, the Macy's that we have that have always been Macy's are still great. All the former Burdine's stores are mostly so-so.

Dillard's is something I only go to for dresses. They have the best dress selection here. For anything else...blah. All of their stores seem to desperately need new carpets.

Your opinion. Apparently all of the rest of the shoppers felt otherwise, because the Foley's here in the Dallas were always crowded.
