Macy's Reports Slow Sales At Converted Marshall Field's Stores
Macy's has reported slow sales at all of the stores that used to be Marshall Field's.
Some Chicagoans disapproved of Macy's decision to convert the Field's stores.
But officials at Macy's said they believe shoppers are merely going through a transition period.
"I vowed I would never go into Macy's after they took over, but here I am," said Near North shopper Andrea Bacon.
Macy's said its original stores and its Bloomingdale's stores are posting strong sales numbers.

They've included an online poll, if you will shop at Macy's on State Street. 27% said yes; 73% said no.
