Macy’s Historic Fusion Tour

Founded in 1866, John Wanamaker pioneered the department store concept in Philadelphia, and in 1911 opened the first of its kind. Now operated by Macy’s, and steeped in R.H. Macy’s great retailing traditions, the store was the first department store with electrical illumination (1878), first store with a telephone (1879), and the first store to install pneumatic tubes to transport cash and documents (1880).
