Robinsons-May Corporate HQ to Close

Federated Department Stores Inc. said today it will shutter the Robinsons-May corporate headquarters offices in North Hollywood, a move that will affect some 1,136 employees there. The office served as the headquarters for Robinsons-May and Meier & Frank stores in the West and Pacific Northwest. Administration and operations functions for the 44 Robinsons-May stores that will continue to operate under the Federated banner will move to Macy’s West in San Francisco. The added stores, including 17 Foley’s units, will require additional personnel for the Western regional headquarters, and Federated officials said they plan to begin assessing those staffing needs and attempting to place some of the Robinsons-May employees in those positions beginning in February. A final date for the restructuring will depend upon several factors, including the time it takes to convert the various systems involved, officials said. The Robinsons-May store, which operates at the same facility as the corporate headquarters, will remain in operation under the Macy’s moniker. The moves come in the wake of the acquisition of May Department Stores Co., the parent for Robinsons-May, by Federated several months ago.
