Yeah, the Downtown St. Paul store closing is no surprise. They came to the end of a 10 year agreement with the city to keep it open. It was opened as an offshoot by Dayton's in the 60s, and for a lot of it's years, was kept open as a goodwill gesture by Dayton's. Once Dayton's(Marshall Fields) sold to Macy's...no more of that. the downtown Minneapolis store still does OK...still not as good as a lot of suburban locations sadly. I don't think the Mpls store is going anywhere at least. Every time I go in there I am reminded of the upscale feel that Dayton's had, and how NOT upscale Macy's is. Seriously, it is one step above target. SALE SALE SALE everywhere, and they don't have the customer service that Dayton's and most old fashioned dept stores had.
