The power of the brand

Federated Department Stores is changing its name to Macy's Group. The company owns Bloomingdale's, May's, Marshall Field's and Filene's. According to the WSJ.com:

As for the plans to change its name, the company is "focused on Macy's and Bloomingdale's, not a federation of department stores," Mr. Lundgren said. "That said, Bloomingdale's is -- and will remain -- a very important part of the company."

Such is the power of brands.
