Macys current performance

May 21, 2008

Macy's Same-Store Sales Down 2.6% | www.jckonline.com

Macys in store servicing of current customers is a key to there growth in this very tough retail climate. There addition of new branded merchandise catagoires , Ie Martha Stewart, Donald Trump , etc. gives them a creative edge to be competative in the next 2 qtrs. The jury is out for most better retailsers . Wal-Mart and Costco appear to be  weathering the economic storm as customers continue  to look for price driven value.
