Acquisition Of The May Department Stores Company By Federated Department Stores
The acquisition of The May Department Stores Company by Federated Department Stores was announced on February 28, 2005, and was completed on August 30, 2005. May-owned regional department stores throughout the United States were converted to Federated-owned Macy's and Bloomingdale's stores by September 9, 2006. At the time, the US$11 billion transaction was the largest retail transaction in the United States, and Federated became the third-largest general merchandise retailer in the country. The acquisition introduced or expanded Macy's to new markets across the United States; Federated renamed itself Macy's, Inc. in 2007. It changed the composition of shopping malls nationwide, many of which had Federated and May brands for anchor stores and were left with multiple Macy's stores or vacancies.

Macy's, Inc
Macy's, Inc. (previously Federated Department Stores, Inc.) is an American holding company of department stores. Upon its establishment in 1929, Federated held ownership of the regional department store chains Abraham & Straus, Lazarus, Filene's, and Shillito's. Bloomingdale's joined Federated Department Stores the next year. Throughout its early history, frequent acquisitions and divestitures saw the company operate a number of nameplates. In 1994, Federated took over Macy's, the old department store chain originally founded in 1858 by American entrepreneur Rowland Hussey Macy. Despite Federated's long history of preserving regional nameplates, its acquisition of the May Department Stores Company in 2005 marked the end of those nameplates. By the following year, both the Macy's and Bloomingdale's brands had replaced them nationwide. Ultimately, Federated itself was renamed Macy's, Inc. in 2007, an acknowledgment of the old store's venerable name; the company bought Bluem ...
