Lundgren, Macy’s Inc. chair- man, president and chief executive officer, said at the retailer’s annual meeting Friday at headquarters here. With about 250 shareholders present, Lundgren laid out the technology vision, citing several projects in the works. “In the coming months, expect to see a wide range of new technologies tested so we can see what works best,” Lundgren told shareholders. He also outlined initiatives to sell Millennials more aggressively, further the My Macy’s program breaking the chain down to 69 districts to tailor the merchan- dise at individual stores, and to advance the Magic Selling program, which better connects sales associ- ates with shoppers. The meeting was a celebration of the strong re- cent results at the $27 billion department store, with Lundgren stating that “the customer is voting with us,” and later telling reporters that Macy’s is outperforming competitors and picking up market share, particularly from J.C.

We can help go here. May 22, Credit: Getty Images. Ricky and Ralph Lauren don't just have a great house in New York 's Hamptons, they have a happy home there. It's where they spend lovely, fun-filled summer weekends and where they have cozy winter nights. They serve fancy foods, such as lobster souffle and towers of beets, arugula and goat cheese, and comfort fare like challah-bread French toast and brownies. Sure, there's help nowadays, Ricky says, but she likes to do as much of it as she can: decorating, cooking, general good hostessing. She also likes a full house, and her now-grown children, their spouses and their friends, are often Family and History. She's put together a new book, " The Hamptons : Food, Family, and Family and History opening up the inside world of one of fashion's most famous labels. It's full of that classic, clean, Americana style that Ralph Lauren and clan have come to symbolize -- and have used to make lots and lots of money.
