Hechts/Macys
First it was Garfinckels. Then we said goodbye to Woodward & Lothrop.
Now Hechts has been bought out by Federated Department Stores that owns Macys & Bloomingdales. A bunch of stores will affected. The local news pointed out as an example that if the merger goes through, Federated with have three anchor stores at Tysons I - Hechts, Lord & Taylor and Bloomingdales. That's not even counting the Macys across the street at Tysons II. So the landscape of our local shopping is changing.
