9. Herald Square was the Fifth Macy’s Store and the First Not To Fail
R.H. Macy and Co. was started, believe it or not, in Massachusetts as a series of dry goods stores in downtown Haverhill that were built between 1843 and 1855 to supply the mill industry workers at the time. Each one failed no more than a few years after opening, after which Macy resolved to move the business elsewhere to New York City.
