Speaking of retail and Macy's, on top of the economy, Macy's still has not swayed the customers of local and regional department stores that were converted to Macy's three years ago. There's been a new study of Macy's released by supporters of Marshall Field's including a survey of 522 shoppers on Chicago's Michigan Avenue and State Street. It was just completed two weeks ago. It that 78% want Marshall Field's to return, while only 13% are happy with Macy's. The comments from those surveyed said that they would make an exception in these hard times to shop Field's if it were to return.
Over 70% said that they shopped the former Marshall Field's locations less since they became Macy's' The margin of error on the study was 4.2% with confidence of 95%.
