St. Louis, Missouri, is a former division of
Macy's, Inc. It had operations in
New York,
Illinois,
Indiana,
Kansas,
Kentucky,
Missouri,
Ohio,
Pennsylvania and
West Virginia. It was created February 1, 2006 from a reorganization of the
Famous-Barr division acquired August 30, 2005 with
The May Department Stores Company. It also incorporated the Macy's stores operating in western Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh) and the majority of the
Kaufmann's stores operated by
Filene's. An additional realignment of store operations with
Macy's South and
Macy's North occurred July 30, 2006, with a further transfer of stores with Macy's South to occur by early 2007. On September 9, 2006, the
Famous-Barr,
L.S. Ayres,
The Jones Store and
Kaufmann's nameplates were phased out in favor of the nationally known
Macy's. In 2008, Macy's Midwest merged with Macy's South to form
Macy's Central. Though the division is dissolved its headquarters will still be an optional flagship for Macy's Central.
