The conversion of Hecht's stores to Macy's has begun.

In 2005, The May Department Stores Company merged with Federated Department Stores. The Hecht's division was eliminated and the former Hecht's stores will soon be operated by Federated's Macy's division.

Permanent Macy's signs have gone up at Hecht's, and advertisements now bear the names of both stores.

The Macy's signs are still covered with translucent Hecht's signs, though. The signs will stay covered until the official conversion date, scheduled for Sept. 9, 2006.

  1. So that's how they've got the signs? I wonder what those Macy's signs will look like.

  2. Resistance is futile... Hechts will be assimilated...

  3. Billy: That particular Hecht's will have a red star with a white macy*s logo done in channel letters. On lighter color stores, the star will still be red but the letters will be black and shine white at night.

    Scott: Yep, the Mother Ship is slowly landing, bringing its national blandness to every mall in America.
