Signs of Change

Signs of change at Warwick Mall, as a new Macy's sign is covered in anticipation of the May 2 opening of its relocated store. Macy's is moving from its current location in the mall to the former Filene's store. The ghost-like markings of the old Filene's sign can be seen lurking eerily beneath the new Macy's sign.

The Warwick Filene's store was closed earlier this year as a result of the Federated Department Stores takeover of The May Company. Federated is the owner of Macy's, and Filene's was a May store. By September of this year all Filene's stores will either be converted to the Macy's nameplate or closed completely.
