Macy's West was a longtime division of
Macy's, Inc. (formerly Federated Department Stores), representing one of the
New York-based department store chain's earliest notable acquisitions and westward expansions. Headquartered in
San Francisco, California, this particular group of Macy's store locations included 258 sites by February 2, 2009, when the company announced plans to consolidate all Macy's divisions into a single division based in New York. The consolidation became effective during the second quarter of 2009.
