The department store that now has a market capitalization of $9.1 billion first opened in 1858 as a small fancy dry goods store on the corner of 14th Street and Sixth Avenue in New York City. Established by former sailor Rowland Hussey Macy, the store became successful after he launched it as R.H. Macy & Co. Today it’s one of the largest retailers in the world with about 870 stores in 45 states.
