Macy's employees raise money for Martha's Village

from The Desert Sun

Employees of Macy's at Westfield Palm Desert held a fundraiser and food drive benefiting Martha's Kitchen and Village and raised enough funds to pay for more than 19,000 pounds of food, officials said Friday. The funds were raised as part of the company's “Bag Hunger” campaign, according to Donna Paul, group sales manager Cosmetics/Fragrances.

Paul, who chaired the campaign, said that as a result of the fundraiser's success Macy's donated an additional $2,200 to the local food bank, which helps the Coachella Valley's needy.

Store officials presented representatives of Martha's Kitchen with a check, as well as the donated food items, during an employee rally on Friday, officials said, adding that every $4 equals a pound of food.

Retailer sees fast-growing town as a smart place to plant a store
By DAVID KAPLAN, Houston Chronicle

Macy's
• Stores: More than 810, with 50 in Texas

• Houston-area Macy's stores: 17, including Pearland

• New Macy's store: Pearland Town Center, Texas 288 and FM 518

• Grand opening: Wednesday

• Employees: 140

• Size: 140,000 square feet

Like other major retailers faced with a weakening national economy and slumping sales, Macy's has been forced to close its underperforming stores.Most recently it announced its store in Sharpstown Center was closing.But when the chain sees a plum opportunity to open a new store, it's not going to pass it up.

The Pearland Macy's which opens Wednesday, is one such opportunity.The town's population has exploded over the past several years, and the retail market generally is considered to be underserved. The store's opening in Pearland Town Center marks a further coming of age for Pearland. Residents in the area will be getting significantly more retail Wednesday when, in addition to Macy's, other stores will open in Pearland Town Center. Dillard's will debut this fall.

Catering to locals
At Texas 288 and FM 518, Pearland Town Center is an ambitious mixed-use lifestyle center that combines fashion retail, restaurants, office space, apartments, a Courtyard by Marriott hotel and a 22-acre lake. "We couldn't be happier," said Carol Artz, president and CEO of the Pearland Chamber of Commerce. "Now we'll have selections for all walks of life, and it's exciting.""It will stop some of the economic bleeding which took place in the community in the past," Artz added.The Town Center makes Pearland even more of a retail draw for area residents south of the city, including those in Lake Jackson and Angleton, she noted.

Closer location
Until now, a Pearland resident who lived near the Pearland Town Center and who wanted to shop at a Macy's had to drive about 20 miles to the Galleria, First Colony Mall or Baybrook Mall, noted Gary Hudgins, Macy's regional vice president.

The new Macy's won't be in a mall, a departure for the Houston area. The only other Houston-area Macy's not in a mall is the former Foley's downtown. Department stores increasingly are choosing big town centers and mixed-use developments for their new locations. The mall is less of an option.

"We're not seeing any enclosed malls being built, except for the rare instance," said Michael Beyard, senior retail fellow at the Urban Land Institute."Big department stores still need to grow and by necessity are looking at town centers which, when large enough, are the 21st century version of the mall," Beyard said.

The entire department store sector has been struggling in recent years, however, and now even high-end department stores like Nordstrom are having a tougher go of it, noted Dan Skoda, managing partner of D & R Consultants and former president of Marshall Field's.


Trying to stand out
Skoda is impressed with some of Macy's recent moves, including its plan to install FAO Schwarz toy store departments inside a few Macy's initially and possibly at many more of its locations in the future.

"It's more like what department stores used to offer before the discount big boxes came along — big children's departments and big toy departments," Skoda said. "Anything Macy's can do to differentiate themselves and bring newness and excitement is a plus," he said.

In a recent report, JPMorgan analyst Charles Grom noted that Macy's is facing "tough macro conditions" and that even the luxury segment of department stores is having to get more promotional. In 2007, the company had net sales of $26.3 billion, down 2.4 percent from a year earlier.


The positive side
On the positive side, Grom wrote, Macy's remains "a solid, free-cash flow generator, and potential increases in input costs down the road could be more than offset from higher private-label penetration in new Macy doors" and "better-than-expected synergies realized from consolidation efforts."

The Pearland Macy's aims to meet the needs of Pearland families by devoting significant space to young men, juniors, children and infants departments, said Melissa Steiner, the store's general manager.


All the essentials
The store will carry all the essentials, as well as "a focus on what's fashionable, colorful and fun," Steiner said.The 140,0000-square-foot Macy's store has a clean look and is designed to be easy to navigate.

Pearland Macy's will have a home accessories section with brands such as Martha Stewart, Ralph Lauren and Hotel Collection; a bridal department and an e-Spot, a consumer-electronics vending machine that offers iPods, Cannon digital cameras, Samsung camcorders, Bang & Olufsen headphones and more. The Pearland store will not carry furniture.

Relatively new brands at Macy's include Ed Hardy, Kensie and Sweet Pea. Beginning this fall, Tommy Hilfiger will become a Macy's exclusive.With corporate offices in Cincinnati and New York City, Macy's operates more than 810 department stores under the Macy's brand and 40 under the Bloomingdale's name.

There are 17 Macy's in the Houston area.


Chosen for appeal
The developer of Pearland Town Center is Chattanooga-based CBL & Associates Properties. The more than 700,000 square feet of retail space in the town center is 85 percent leased, and 70 percent of it will be open Wednesday.Other soft goods retailers in Pearland Town Center include Barnes & Noble, Gymboree, Aeropostale, Ann Taylor Loft, Forever 21, Hot Topic, Zumiez, Brooks Brothers Country Club and Eddie Bauer.The Town Center will also contain office space, 300 luxury apartments, a 110-room hotel, a big lake and a walking trail. Pearland was an appealing spot for such a project, said Michael Lebovitz, CBL's senior vice president, chief development officer, because it is "a fast-growing city with excellent demographics in an underserved market."

What a Difference a Day Makes:
Macy’s Raises $9.5 Million with National Shop For A Cause Event

Annual event raises dollars for local charities throughout the U.S.

NEW YORK – October 18, 2007 – Macy’s today announced that it successfully raised more than $9.5 million with this year’s second annual national “Shop For A Cause” charity shopping event. The event was held on Saturday, October 13 in all Macy’s stores and on macys.com to help raise awareness and support for local and regional charity organizations across the U.S. The first nationally coordinated Shop For A Cause event was held in fall of 2006 and raised more than $9 million for charity organizations. “We are delighted that we again raised nearly $10 million in one day to support the important charity work that matters most to our customers in cities and towns around the country,” said Peter Sachse, president, Macy’s Corporate Marketing. “It is truly remarkable what can be accomplished when you partner the passion of local charity groups and the generosity of our customers with the reach and enthusiasm of an organization like Macy’s. That together we can make an impact of this magnitude in just one day serves as a catalyst and inspiration for future endeavors.” Through the “Shop for a Cause” program, Macy’s donates tickets to regional and local charities in all of its markets around the country, including to the American Heart Association as an extension of Macy’s national support of the Go Red For Women movement. The tickets are then sold by the charitable organizations for $5 each. They keep all of the ticket proceeds. Ticket holders then redeem their tickets at any Macy’s store on the designated day to receive a coupon for 20 percent off most men’s, women’s, kid’s, and accessories merchandise and 10 percent off most home items. Tickets are also sold at macys.com and at the door leading up to and on the day of the event, with the proceeds for those tickets also distributed to charitable organizations.
