R.I.P. Meier and Frank


R.I.P. Meier and Frank

Originally uploaded by dieselboii.

Macy’s this week announced it would be changing all the names of its stores to Macy’s. Thus ending a 148 year run for old M&F. Kinda sad really since both Meier and Frank were early pioneers in Portland. One of the family’s estate became a large portion of what is now Lewis and Clark College. Goodbye Meier and Frank. hopefully, the name change won’t affect the “biggest sale of the year” that occurs every weekend. I am always up for 90% off sales.

Sent from my phone, probably whilst out walking…

update: it has been brought to my attention that the above post may not be clear. Federated, the owner of Macy’s, M&F, Hechts, and Filene’s, will be changing the name of all stores to Macy’s.

    I’m kind of hoping that somehow Sage Hospitality can be convinced to call their hotel in that building something like the Sage Meier & Frank, just to keep the name around.

    What about the Santa Land? Is Macy’s going to continue the tradition of the “real” Santa? If not, where do we go to find the “real” Santa. I refuse to take my boys to see a mall Santa.
