The Federated-May merger is killing off major jobs here in the Phoenix area. All the Robinsons-May locations will now be Macy's, and since there are instances of both stores in the same mall, one store in each location will have to close.

I hate it when people lose jobs because of things like this.

I live in eastern PA now. Macys has been here at least since they bought Bamberger's in 1986. At Willowbrook Mall in Houston, which opened in 1981, a Macys was added in 1984. Macys closed in 1997 and became Dillard's. So I guess they re-entered the market.
