Fashion for All! Macys is a full lifestyle retail store that deals in men, women and kids fashion. In 1858, Rowland Macy opened his New York City dry goods shop. Macy’s prospered, eventually expanding to 11 adjacent buildings and carrying the range of products that made it the first department store. By 1924, Macy’s had become the world’s largest store. The reason behind the ultimate popularity of Macy is its ability to cater wide audience and present the latest collection of fashion combined with trends.
