Macys closing flagship Minneapolis store on Nicollet Mall, report says

[TexasTowelie]

Twin Cities Business magazine reported on its website Thursday that the landmark Macy’s store in downtown Minneapolis — the original Dayton’s department store — will be closing.

The magazine, citing multiple anonymous sources, said the Cincinnati-based retail company informed the city of Minneapolis about the closure but wanted to delay an announcement pending a deal to redevelop the site.

The sources told the magazine that Macy’s intends to publicly announce the closing after the holiday season, and plans to end operations in the first half of next year.

City and company officials did not comment on the report specifically for the magazine.

1. Better call trump

so he can give them billions in tax dollars to stay open.

2. One more Christmas?

They used to be famous for their holiday window displays. That was long ago, of course, when they were Dayton's. I have no idea if the tradition survived to present times.

6. They did have a Christmas thing upstairs

But nothing like what Dayton's used to do.

3. I still miss the spring's Daisy sale

Daytons had the Daisy Sale in the Spring.

And the Mashall Fields mints. Also, too.

4. If you mean Marshall Field's Frango Mints,

you can still get them from Macy's.

I ordered some online last year.

They are soooooooooo good.

5. I wish they never sold it to Macy's

and I miss Daytons. It was so much better.
