Company history

Macy’s roots date to 1858, when Rowland H. Macy opened R.H. Macy & Co. in New York City. Bloomingdale’s began in 1872, and Federated Department Stores was formed in 1929 by a group of regional retailers.[24]

In 1994, R.H. Macy & Co. merged with Federated Department Stores, with the combined company taking the Federated name. Federated expanded through its 1995 acquisition of Broadway Stores, converting many of its locations to Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s. In 2005 it completed a merger with The May Department Stores Company; in 2006, many of May’s store nameplates were converted to Macy’s.[25]+4

Federated’s shareholders approved changing the parent company’s name to Macy’s, Inc. in 2007. In 2015, the company acquired Bluemercury, extending its portfolio into luxury beauty retail. Tony Spring became chief executive officer in February 2024, succeeding Jeff Gennette.[29]+3
