?? Karri here, freshly back from some discount shopping at Macy's, of all places.
Driving the news: Macy's opened its second Richmond area Macy's Backstage location this month inside its Chesterfield Towne Center store.
Why it matters: In the world of discount clothing retailers' store organization, there's a spectrum, and I am happy to report that Backstage falls on the things-are-where-they're-supposed-to-be-and-nothing-looks-as-though-a-wild-animal-gnawed-through-it end.
Yes, but: Prices and selection are what matters most for bargain shoppers - and Macy's Backstage does well on both counts.
At Backstage, shoppers will find a mini version of big Macy's in the new department with clothes, shoes and purses, housewares, kids' clothes and toys, and even something for your furry friends.
What I found was a pair of Dr. Scholl's Bayside Platform sandals, originally $110, per the tag, and found elsewhere online from $39 to $65.
The bottom line: If you've ever been accused of being Maxxinista, Macy's Backstage is worth a trip.
