This means we sell a broad array of merchandise that helps individual customers express their personal style. We tailor the assortments at each store to the customer who shops there. We strive to provide appropriate levels of service to all customers and to connect with them one-on-one.

Our business strategies are supported by the best people in retailing, in whom we have invested to attract, develop and retain. We are an inclusive employer whose strength comes from encouraging diverse viewpoints.

The Macy's and Bloomingdale's brands distinguish Macy's, Inc. as an industry leader. Research shows that more than 98 percent of American shoppers in our targeted core customer group already recognize one or both names. Building these brands - by reaching out to one customer at a time - is how we will continue to grow our business and enhance shareholder value.
