This sentence in the opening paragraph is meaningless to the average reader (and missing a comma): "Historically Burdines was known as the carriage-trade store in Florida". I'm tempted to remove it but I don't know if its trying to convey something useful. Is it trying to say that the chain was previously named "The Carriage-Trade Store" or is it trying to indicate that the chain was a "carriage trade store" (I could find few references to "carriage trade stores" in Google).

Burdines catered to a wealthier clientele than Sears or J.C. Penney. The phrase "carriage trade" is fairly commonly used to describe a store catering to the well-off. Horologiumt-c01:48, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Burdines was merged with Macy's not acquired by it. Much like the other regional department stores owned by Federated Retail Holdings the store was renamed Burdines-Macy's in 2003. Then in 2005 Burdines along with the other stores was consolidated into Macy's because Federated decided to make the store a national brand.

Do you guys remember Burdines being called "the Florida store", I remember the stores branded as "Burdines Florida" prior to Macy's Winnebaggo (talk) 23:32, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
