Macy's
Macy's traces its origins to a small dry goods store opened by Rowland Hussey Macy in New York City in 1858, and it grew into one of the largest and most iconic department store chains in the country, anchored by its flagship Herald Square store in Manhattan. Macy's has produced the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade since 1924, an annual event featuring giant character balloons that became one of the most widely watched televised holiday traditions in the United States, giving the company a level of cultural visibility far beyond ordinary retail advertising. The Herald Square flagship store was, for much of the 20th century, promoted as the "world's largest store," and Macy's broader chain became deeply embedded in American retail history, including its central role in the classic holiday film "Miracle on 34th Street." Macy's combination of its historic Herald Square flagship and its iconic Thanksgiving Day Parade has made it one of the most culturally significant department store chains in American history.
VS
Kohl's
Kohl's began as a Milwaukee grocery store chain founded by Polish immigrant Maxwell Kohl in 1927, before the company transitioned into department store retail in the 1960s and eventually sold off its original grocery operations entirely to focus on apparel and home goods. The chain built its business model around suburban strip-mall locations rather than traditional indoor shopping malls, a strategic choice that gave it more convenient, easily accessible parking and store access than mall-anchor competitors during a period when many other department stores were mall-dependent. Kohl's became known for its extensive loyalty rewards program and frequent significant discount promotions, along with more recent partnerships allowing in-store Amazon returns, reflecting an effort to drive consistent store foot traffic in an increasingly online-shopping-dominated retail environment. Kohl's combination of its suburban strip-mall retail strategy and its aggressive loyalty and discount promotional model has made it one of the most resilient traditional department store chains in modern American retail.
