Believe it or not, the worlds largest store is Macy's Herald Square. Its flagship store in Herald Square, New York City has been billed as the "world's largest store" since 1924. You have to see the new Macy's Kids on 7 (floor) - It is now the largest kids floor in the world.
The classic Christmas film Miracle on 34th Street (1947) is set in Macy's 34th Street flagship store. Subsequent remakes of the film for television (1955, 1959, and 1973) are also set here.
Macys Herald Square is also know for its excellent Christmas window diplay facing Broadway during the Christmas season. In 2008 Macys aims to show the best Christmas Window display ever. The theme of this year's display at the Herald Square flagship in New York - is the making of Christmas magic.
"I think kids will love it with all its crazy moving parts, and I want them to believe this is how things are made," explains Paul Olszewski, Macy's Herald Square director of windows.
It's not quite that easy: The windows are the result of a year's worth of work and a lot of fretting. He then spends the better part of the holiday season outside the windows with the crowd, hoping to see kids say, "Wow!" and also seeing what could work better.
