Foley''s - Wikipedia

This company was founded in 1900 by brothers Pat and James Foley, in Houston, Texas, as Foley Brothers. It was originally acquired by Federated Department Stores, Inc. in 1947.[citation needed]In 1961, Foley''s opened its first branch store at the Sharpstown Shopping Center and continued to add Houston branches over the next five decades. In the 1970s, Foley''s opened stores in Austin and in the 1980s opened in San Antonio. By 1987, Foley''s absorbed Federated''s Dallas-based Sanger-Harris chain with stores in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Tulsa, Oklahoma; Tucson, Arizona; and Albuquerque, New Mexico.[citation needed]In 1988, Federated was purchased by real estate developer Campeau Corporation, which immediately sold Foley''s along with Filene''s to May Department Stores to finance its deal.[2] In two years Federated filed for bankruptcy, disassociated itself from Campeau, and merged with Campeau''s other retail holding company Allied Stores. After its acquisition by May Company, Foley''s closed several stores in Dallas it considered underperforming (including the downtown Dallas flagship store) and its Albuquerque, N.M., location, while also taking over two Lord & Taylor stores, one under construction in Oklahoma City and the other at San Antonio''s Rivercenter.
 Foley''s (now Macy''s) at NorthPark Center in DallasOver the next decade, May spent heavily to build new stores, replace outdated stores and refurbish existing stores. In 1993, May Department Stores consolidated May Daniels & Fisher into Foley''s, which brought Foley''s to the Denver-Aurora, Colorado Springs, Boulder and Fort Collins-Loveland markets and re-introduced Foley''s to the Albuquerque market. On February 2, 1997, the 2 Arizona locations (both in Pima County) were transferred to May''s Robinsons-May division.[3] In 2001, Foley''s expanded into Louisiana after May Co. acquired several Maison Blanche locations that had become Parisian stores from Proffitt''s (now Saks Incorporated).
Foley''s was re-acquired by Federated when it took over May Department Stores on August 30, 2005. In 2006, Federated started the conversion of Foley''s into Macy''s. Soon advertisements started to read "Foley''s - Now part of the Macy''s Family". On September 9, 2006, the Foley''s stores were renamed Macy''s as part of Federated''s nationwide rebranding of all former May locations.[citation needed] In 2005 Federated announced that it would close Foley''s 1,200-employee headquarters in Downtown Houston.[4]The former Downtown Houston Foley''s store was demolished on Sunday, September 22, 2013.[5]1900: Foley Brothers was opened by brothers Pat and James Foley, two young and enterprising Irishmen, on February 12 with $2000 borrowed from an uncle.

Later that year, the store became the city''s largest department store. Shoes, a beauty shop, and radio sets were included.
