Reading through Mayor Slay's musings on the current Macy's debacle, I couldn't help but think "Downtown flagship store, huh???"
If the downtown location is considered a "flagship" store then it's clear why Macy's sales are in the basement. I find the downtown store woefully lacking in men's wear that I'd actually wear. Went once, it was my first time, never went back...so the downtown store doesn't appear to be trying to win over new customers. The men's department was bare. Aside from urban wear and Cardinals gear, there was just nothing to get excited about. I believe it's only a matter of time before Macy's shutters the downtown store.
Needless to say, I never really shopped at Macy's, any Macy's, before yesterday's announcement. Since the store no longer supports St. Louis, I don't think I'll be making any effort to shop there in the future.

I agree with you. I tried to shop at the downtown Macys for Christmas and wasn't happy. I only purchased cologne, and later found out that I could have got it $10 cheaper at the West County store. It will be easy to stop shopping at Macys since they don't have a good selection at any of their stores. We need a Bloomingdales!
