Worth a read. Several of our store closures have happened in these areas, and I suspect even more will close. Anyone else live or previously lived in these areas? |

| The Macys in Novi (a suburb of detroit) is currently going through renovations. They have expanded quite a bit...that mall is pretty upscale too. I am not sure if they are doing this based on business (which i am sure is way down) or just for the heck of it... | |

| My old store was rennovated a few years ago, but only the first floor. They ran out of money, so the bottom floor looks like Rich's, and the top floor looks like Macy's. | |

Sounds like Macy's at Town Center at Cobb - The bottom is currently being renovated though.
Oh yes, and RIP Bernie Mac. It is Such a shame to loose such a funny person. |

I'm sure it does, it only carries high end merchandise. I just think that it is bound to see steep drops in sales as the money belt gets tighter... it is the high end merchandise that gets dropped. I used to work at the Briarwood Marshall Fields, they had a much better assortment in my opinion. |
