Round-the-Clock Shopping Starts at 7 A.M. on December 21 as 14 Macy's Stores Stay Open for 24-Hours Till Christmas Eve

Nine NY, NJ, IL, CA and MA Stores Extend Hours until 2 A.M.

NEW YORK, Dec 20, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- 83-hours of non-stop shopping start on Tuesday, December 21 at 7 a.m. as Macy's opens its doors and keeps 14 stores open round-the-clock until 6 p.m., December 24, Christmas Eve. A shopper's favorite for five years, Macy's 24-hour stores make the holidays merrier as the homestretch of the gift-giving season nears.

Overnight and extended hours at select city and mall stores in the / metro area, greater DC and Philadelphia metro areas, as well as , , Massachusetts, Michigan and Minnesota take the rush out of the season and give shoppers the flexibility to shop when they want to. With 14 stores pulling all-nighters, and nine stores offering extended hours until 2 a.m., Macy's goes the distance in delivering customer service and convenience during the holiday season.

States Ron Klein, chief stores officer, Macy's, Inc., "Shoppers have Macy's at the top of their list as the department store to go to first for holiday gifts. By being open 24 hours at 14 key city locations and extending store hours at another nine, last minute shoppers get extra time to shop and the added bonus of shorter lines, less crowds, and for those high traffic locations, the ease of parking." He adds, "Our stores are destinations in cities and malls across the country, and by reworking our schedule to fit shoppers' needs, we feel we are making the holidays less hectic and more enjoyable for both our customers and associates."
