    It is said that Macy's Department store first opened on the corner of 14th and 6th in New York City in the year of 1858. Then moved to Herald Square on Broadway and 24th in 1902. The store was fully completed by1924.
    However, I saw another Internet site that says Macy's opened in 1929 in Columbus, Ohio.
    I also saw a documentary about the Macy's store that claimed the store first opened in N.Y. City. So who can say for sure?
    My guess is, New York City in 1858.

    I think the store opened at a different location in New York City in 1858, and it expanded to take over eleven buildings around the store, which still was not enough space, so they moved over to Herald Sqaure in 1902. It took hem until 1924 to actually complete the whole building. Now that is one HUGE department store, isn't it!...:0) Are you enjoying your week-end? Hope so.

      Macy's opened 1858 in new york as a dry goods store. Founded be rowland hussey macy. Then it moved to new york city on herald square which is now the biggest department store with 33 elevators and 4 escalators. Try looking at the macy's website! 1958 that makes no sense the macy's thanksgiving day parade started in 1924. That's right don't mess!
