I know we've talked about it on here before, but Macy's is becoming a poor fit for the center. The store seems to only sell Michael Kors, Tommy Hilfiger, and Polo in the men's section, with a small selection of Hugo Boss and Armani Exchange. Belk sells better stuff than Macy's now. They're able to keep Tommy Bahama, Vineyard Vines, Stuart Weitzman, Lilly Pulitzer, and Brooks Brothers all on their shelves.
Macy's in general has gone way downhill over the past decade. This Macy's is the best in the region and is still showing a huge decline, I'm just glad they haven't put that Backstage BS in there. Definitely need to change it with a Bloomingdales, but I don't think NorthPark wants to be ultra high end so it may stay as it is.
Dillard's maintains a selection for customers who Macy's used to target. I've seen drugstore makeup sold at the NorthPark Macy's and their constant reliance on partnerships with other stores (Claire's, Finish Line, Sunglass Hut) does not look good for the company itself.
I've imagined Bloomies opening where Disney once was.
