List of department stores converted to Macy's

Last updated

This is a list of department stores converted to Macy's and sister brand Bloomingdale's by way of mergers and acquisitions. Macy's became a national brand through these conversions, and replaced many regional department stores with local heritage throughout the United States. The 2005 acquisition of The May Department Stores Company by Macy's parent Federated Department Stores (present-day Macy's, Inc.) was the largest of these transactions, and resulted in 11 regional brands becoming defunct in 2006. The table below includes department stores that were directly converted to Macy's and brands subjected to previous conversions that were ultimately converted to Macy's.
