Jan 8th, 2009 | Macy's Store Closings survey

Which store closing would affect you the most?


Macy's is reportedly closing 11 stores.  I like what Jeannette Di Louie has to say, from here:

"I don’t care one way or the other about [Macy's] itself, what gets me a little is the obvious reduction in the shop-‘til-you-drop mentality that is behind this latest announcement. Not that it’s a healthy attitude per se -- getting oneself into debt over a few extra pairs of shoes, the latest chinaware or three-piece suit never is -- but it’s still one that has perpetuated America for years now. It’s familiar and even comforting in a sick, twisted sort-of way. And it was what boosted our economy for decades now."

Di Louie adds: "So while there’s a significant number of people who’ve had to make adjustments in their lives, there are a number of people who haven’t. Take the very Macy’s that is closing 11 stores in various areas. While consumer levels have dropped far enough in those locations, it will also be opening 3 new ones in addition to a replacement store."

I don't know what I would do if Target was gone.  I like stolling the aisles.  I could care less about Wal-Mart...it's always a shit hole
