This is my go to Macy's when I am in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area.
Why, you ask?
Because it has a great men's department. Many times the men's department at Macy's feels like it was added on just because they needed to have a men's department.
Not so, here.
First and foremost, the men's department commands prime retail space on the main floor. Macy's has figured out that it is not a good idea to try to lure the average male shopper to the back of the store where the men's department is hidden in a corner or worse, to send them up to the third floor. Most men like to shop fast and with as little fuss as possible.
For most men, it's a game of, where is the men's department, where are the _____ (fill in the necessary blank) and then let's skip the trying on part and go straight to finding the cash register so we can get out of the store ASAP. Total time: less than ten minutes.
At this Macy's I have spent time actually perusing the selections. I have vacillated between Tommy Bahama, Lacoste and Polo Ralph Lauren. I have ventured into the shoe department only to have my senses attacked by the wonderful aroma of Starbucks. I have even bought clothes I didn't even know I wanted.
All the while my wife is happily zipping around all the clothing choices on the second floor. I will never be able to outlast her, but after I have made my quick purchases I take my book and find a comfortable place to read while she finishes her retail extravaganza.
