Macy reopens in Houston!

Macy’s Inc. is planning to re-open its stores at Deerbrook Mall and Almeda Mall, both of which were severely damaged by Hurricane Ike.
The stores were closed last September after the hurricane blew through the Galveston/Houston area.
The Deerbrook Mall Macy’s is scheduled to re-open in August, and the Almeda Mall store is slated to re-open in September.
Upon reopening, the two stores will reinstate about 500 jobs.
Macy’s Deerbrook Mall, which opened in 1984, and Macy’s Almeda Mall, which opened in 1966, will both be stripped down to their bricks-and-mortar shells and completely remodeled.
The Deerbrook Mall store will span 161,00 square feet on three levels, and the Almeda Mall location will encompass 147,000 square feet on one level.
The stores will incorporate Macy’s “Reinvent” elements such as wider aisles, redesigned and spacious fitting rooms with seating areas and plasma screen televisions, as well as electronic price-checkers throughout the stores.
Macy’s Central, based in Atlanta, operates 234 stores in 18 states across the South, Southwest and Midwest. Sixteen of those stores are in the Greater Houston area. For more information see : www.houstonrealtyadvisors.com and www.houstonrealtyadvisors.net
