From Humble Beginnings to Becoming One of the World's Largest Retailers

The Beginning of an Iconic Brand

Rowland Hussey Macy adopted a red star as his symbol of success, dating back to his days as a sailor.

Soaring Sales Results

First-day sales totaled $11.06 but by the end of the first full year, sales grossed approximately $85,000.

The Growth of a Premier Retailer

By 1877, R.H. Macy & Co. had become a full-fledged department store occupying the ground space of 11 adjacent buildings in Manhattan.
