Mr. Macy

Yes indeed!

Mr. Macy was Rowland Hussey Macy. He started the Macy's store in New York City in 1858.

Sears was actually two men. The store was originally called Sears and Roebuck .

Mr. Sears was Richard Warren Sears and Mr. Roebuck was Alvah Curtis Roebuck . They started their store in Chicago , 1892.

Mom and I are obsessed with Kohl's and we buy cool stuff there and we have gotten so many Kohl's coupons it's very funny. Mom also LOVES Macy's and she didn't even know Macy's existed until the 90's and the mall where we began shopping at had a Macy's and Mom was obsessed with Macy's ever since "and at that time" there was only two Macy's in our area and then our mall got it's own Macy's and we loved it. I used to go to Marshall's and it had good stuff but Mom and I quit shopping there because it got too crowded and messy. One of my cousins actually works for TJ Maxx and he gives my uncle discounts there and Mom and I went to a TJ Maxx once and we liked their awesome stuff they had. But if you want a good department store that has amazing bargains I recommend DD's Discounts because that store is amazing and has famous brands like Baby Phat Tommy Hilfiger Adidas DKNY Michael Kors and other brands at reasonable prices and when Mom and I went to DD's Discounts we were surprised at the store

I really like JC Penney and Target. And the discount stores, Burlington, Marshall's and Ross are fun.

There isn't a Kohls , TJ Maxx or WalMart near me

For mens clothing I like Dillards. In Indiana, there are two, one in Richmond and one in Evansville--neither are close. I discovered them on a business trip to Cleveland years ago--they had a downtown mall store which I'm betting is gone by now--along with the mall.

I order online.

I wasn't familiar with what Ross had until this past year. I checked them out and bought several Christmas gifts there.

All of those stores you mentioned are within 2 or 3 miles of me.
