Tysons doubles up on Macy’s

Published September 6, 2006 4:00am ET



When Hecht’s department stores across the Washington region reopen as Macy’s Saturday, Tysons-area shoppers will have not one, but two, Macy’s to choose from.

Ten local Hecht’s — purchased last year by Macy’s-owned Federated Department Stores Inc. as part of an $11 billion buyout of Robinsons-May — will make the switch. The change over is part of Federated’s strategy to create one supersized retail brand with more than 800 Macy’s across the nation — but the move will also create duplicates in a number of malls across the country. Locally, Macy’s will have a home in both Tysons Corner Center and Tysons Galleria, which sit right across the street from each other.
