Macy's

The original Macy's store opened on 14th Street and 6th Avenue in New York City in 1858. It moved to its current Herald Square location in 1902. In 1924 they held what was then known as a Christmas parade, but today is the holiday staple that we all know as Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, which culminates on Broadway, in front of the Entrance to the store.
