Has Marshall Fields changed their name to Macy's?

Answer 1

It's actually more like: when Macy's bought the parent company of Marshall Fields, Macy's renamed all those stores to Macy's.

Filenes of Boston were all renamed Macy's within the last few months, with much less angst and fury than the Fields change has caused in Chicago.

Leave to a bunch of East Coast MBAs, who think they know everything about retailing, to underestimate the loyalty of the Midwestern shopper.

Answer 2

Macy's purchased Marshall Field Stores

Answer 3

No, Macy's has bought Marshall Fields and decided to retire the Marshall Fields name to history (bad move in my opinion.)

Answer 4

I don't know if 100% of the Marshall Field's are now Macy's, but here in Minnesota it is true. My local mall used to have a Dayton's --> Marshall Field's --> now is Macy's. I believe there was a buy-out.

Answer 5

No,Federated Company who ownes Macy's changed Marshall Field's name,and Marshall Field's is no longer a department store company. As of September 9th,2006 a company named Federated Department Stores which operate Macy's,have bought out May Company Department Stores..who owned Marshall Fields,Kaufmanns,and etc. Some locations are being extensively remodeled into becoming Bloomingdale's instead. Nothing to worry about though....Macy's is a dependable Department Store with great quality merchandise,friendly employees,great sales,and are always willing to help you find what you need.
--------------------------------

The new millennium saw Federated make the bold move of acquiring long-time department store competitor, May Company. Both companies had very similar histories and cultures, and both represented decades of roll-ups of local family-owned department stores. Each had similar sales volume and stores.

United, a retail powerhouse was created with Macy's stores in 63 of the top 65 markets. We truly are "America's Department Store." The acquisition was completed in August 2005, nearly doubling the size of the company and making Federated the fourth largest non-food retailer in the country.

Seventy-seven years after its founding, Federated is one of the nation's most successful and respected retail institutions. The company continues to prosper by adapting and flowing with new demands on department stores in an ever-changing society. Embracing the words and philosophy of one of its founders, Fred Lazarus Jr., Federated succeeds by striving to be "a living mirror of our civilization in which we see the constant changing needs and wishes of our people."
