Macy's / Bamberger's, Nanuet, NY
This full-line Macy's was opened as Bamberger's in 1969 in The Nanuet Mall (now known as The Shops at Nanuet) Last year, several departments were re-shuffled on the top level, creating space for a Macy's Backstage store which opened in April. On 3 sides, the store is branded as Macy's (with brown 1980's Macy's signs) and on one side, it is branded "Macy's Backstage".
-------------
The store was opened as Bamberger's in 1969, one of two department stores (along with Sears) which anchored The Nanuet Mall in Nanuet, NY. The mall was a smaller enclosed mall which served the growing Rockland County, NY and Bergen County, NJ suburbs, located Northwest of New York City. It had a basic design, with Bamberger's at one end and Sears at the other with a strip of stores in-between.
The store became Macy's in 1986 and with little competition in the immediate area, it was very successful. In the mid-1990's, a Stern's was added to the mall (later Boscov's). Shortly thereafter, construction of the massive Palisades Center Mall was announced 3 miles away, and when the mall opened, the Nanuet Mall suffered.
In 2006, the Filene's at The Palisades Center mall became Macy's and plans were announced to de-mall the Nanuet Mall and demolish the Stern's/Boscov's.
The Shops at Nanuet opened in 2013. It is basically the old mall, with a street built in-between the 2 anchor stores in the same spot where the old mall was located. A Fairway Market has been built on the site of the old Stern's/Boscov's store.
Update: This Macy's closed in early 2019; Sears closed in 2018 and Fairway Market closed in 2020.
