Macy’s Innovation in Business

Macy’s is the Great American Department Store – an iconic retailing brand with about 840 stores operating coast-to-coast and online at macys.com. We offer powerful assortments and the best brands, tailored to each and every customer with obvious value, engaging service and unforgettable moments. Clearly, Macy’s is distinctly different from other major retailers.

Macy’s has a long history of innovation in business. We're continually looking for new ways to delight the customer, deliver value and build sales and profits, and we've long been recognized for our commitment to fostering the growth and development of our vendor resources, including multicultural- and woman-owned enterprises.

We regularly look for qualified new vendors of goods and services and we strongly encourage interest from potential vendors through our nationally recognized Vendor Diversity Program, which is open to U.S.-based multicultural- and woman-owned enterprises.

To help achieve this goal, our latest innovation is The Workshop at Macy’s. This comprehensive retail vendor development program includes an intensive 4 ½-day workshop and is designed to give select high potential multicultural and/or women business owners the tools to better succeed and sustain growth in the retail industry.

To help us identify the best candidates for participation in this groundbreaking program, we're now accepting applications for the next Workshop class, which will be held in Spring 2012. To apply for this program, which past participants have described as “life-changing,” review the eligibility requirements and submit your application before midnight on January 22, 2012.

And the program is free. Yes, you read that right. To learn more and get details on how to apply, read the program overview.
