We, the undersigned, are citizens or visitors of the city of Chicago and we strongly oppose your decision to change the name of the landmark department store, Marshall Field & Company to Macy's. M... continue reading »
"PLEASE Keep the Marshall Field's name!"
"I moved to Chicago 5 years ago and have grown to love "Field's". It is my favorite store and I do the bulk of my apparel shopping there. Do not expect the same amount of patronage, if any, from me upon a change to Macy's."
"How dare you!"
"Save Marshall Field's"
"no Macy's!!!!"
"I have had a charge (Regards charge)at Field's for 31 years. My loyalty is to Marshall Field's, not Macy's. What's in a name, you ask--a lifetime of memories. Don't mess with what works!!"
"Keep the name....Macy's on State Street? That sounds horrible...."
"No Fields No Sale!!!!!!! You will be bankrupt in under a year!!"
"Would you rename "State St." "5th Avenue"? Marshall Fields is Chicago, like Macy's is NY - change a few stores to Macy's (but not State St.)- LET'S HAVE A COMPROMISE HERE!!!!"
"Having lived for 10 years in Cincinnati, I knew many Federated "people" and am happy that Fields' employees will be working for a good company. Why bother to shop at Macy's in Chicago as a visitor when you've already been to your local Macy's at home rece"
"I have great memories of Marshall Feilds and just like Pop and Fresh, Bakers Square is just not the same, either will Macy's be the same."
"Look at the renovation of Soldier Field--Don't you think Chicago has suffered enough???"
"I have a Macy's charge and never use it. There is no comparison in the design line of the clothing. Macy's clothing looks matronly. Field's clothing is chic and sophisticated. I guess I'll save some money because I WILL NOT be shopping at Macy's!"
"I'm almost 84 years old and Iworked at Field's often when I was between jobs. I love that place. You just can't change that stores name!"
