Macy’s is perhaps one of the best retailers out there. With 150 years of history and serving the United States residents that all started in New York City, how can you not love it? Also, it’s amazing that Macy’s continue to advertise, without fail, on discounts every week on major newspapers. How great is that?
Macy’s has 150 years of history and it actually invented many “first” like having an in-store Santa during Christmas, big window displays to attract customers etc. To date, it also heavily advertises in major newspapers with coupons so it not only helps sell its clothes, it helps sell newspapers too. I know I’ve bought a copy of LA times because I wanted the Macy’s coupons.
Sak’s Fifth Avenue is ultra high end. It’s got Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Armani, you name it, they have it. The layout of the retailer is often a little weird but hey, it doesn’t matter if they are making money right?
Robinson’s May, for a long time, was the queen of everyday people department store. In fact, my boss used to buy us a $100 gift certificate every Christmas. It’s funny because our secret santa were filled with gifts that could be purchased from the department store. In 2006 though, times were bad and the once popular department stores were bought out by Macy’s, with most of its stores transformed as well.
Century 21 is a discount retailer that has tons of ultra high end clothing at reduced prices. I remember the first time I went in, clothes were like a dumpster but if you have the time, energy and patience to look through all the clothes, you will find very good clothes at very cheap prices. As far as I know though, there is only one store in lower Manhattan.
Bloomingdales is very nice, with shops like Nespresso, Louis Vuitton specialty stores within the building. The color tone is black and white, which brings a sleek and luxury look to the surroundings. Once you step in, you will know what I’m talking about.
Neiman Marcus is not really in many places but those who are rich know this department store inside out. Be careful if you shop there though because they don’t accept Mastercard and Visa. So unless you have American Express or a wad of cash, forget this department store.
Century 21 is a store located in New York City that sells luxury clothing at cheap prices. When you get in, it’s like a mad house as woman are running around scrambling to find the latest and greatest. Clothes are usually in a mess but if you have some patience, you can often come out very happy.
