Macy's

Fans of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade who come to see the soaring SpongeBob and Snoopy balloons may get a far less heartwarming sight this year: giant dump trucks filled with sand.

Macy's says it plans to close about 100 stores next year as the department store operator aims to become more nimble in a competitive market. That represents close to 14 percent of its store base.

Macy's is testing a mobile tool using artificial intelligence that lets shoppers get answers customized to the store they're in — like where a particular brand is located or what's in stock — that they would normally ask a sales associate face-to-face.

Hours after a midnight deadline had passed Macy's announced a tentative deal with workers, averting what could have become the first strike at its flagship Manhattan store in more than four decades.

Workers at Macy's iconic flagship store in New York City are threatening to strike if contract negotiations fail.

Macy's Inc. plans to hire about 85,000 seasonal workers for temporary jobs ahead of the holidays to meet expected higher demand. That is about the same as a year ago.

NEW YORK (AP) -- A procrastinator's holiday wish come true: Presents ordered at the last minute can now show up under the Christmas tree that same day.

Macy's Inc. is cutting 2,500 jobs as part of a reorganization to sustain its profitability.

Yes, “it’s getting’, it’s getting’, it’s getting’ kinda hectic!” Those were the words the rapper Turbo repeats in the 1990 hit “The Power!” And there’s no doubt it is getting hectic. Especially now that the Christmas shopping season will be that much more competitive...

Nobody can force you to celebrate a holiday, to be thankful, to gather with family and friends and reflect on the many blessings you enjoy. Nope, in 2013 it’s not the “American Way!” No more Currier and Ives portraits of families gathered for the big Thanksgiving feast...
