MAKING IT EASY FOR THE CONSUMER – MACY’S STAYS OPEN ALL NIGHT LONG

Just in case consumers are worried sick about the economy and can’t sleep Macy’s wants them to have a place to play (and spend money).

This insomniac-shopaholic retail weigh station starts all-night hours from Dec. 21 to December 24th at seven Macy stores: the Herald Square flagship, Kings Plaza in Brooklyn, Cross County in Yonkers, Staten Island, Roosevelt Field in Long Island, Jersey City, and Macy’s Willowbrook in Wayne, N.J.

“This must be desperation, but you know Macy's did it last year at the Queens Center, so it must have worked,” said a retail consultant. The eight stores are all high-traffic locations.
