We went shopping at Macy's Backstage and saw why the department-store chain is banking on its off-price model to turn things around

separate buying team and different vendors

We went to a Macy's Backstage store in Elmhurst, New York, to see why the department store is prioritizing its off-price model. We found the majority of items were from lesser-known labels, but with ample stock and great discounts. While we didn't spot many steals from big-name and designer brands, it's clear that the store is looking to target a larger group of customers who want a reliable and affordable shopping destination for some general, good-quality items.

Rarely did we spot any big name brands, let alone designer ones. This Calvin Klein t-shirt was one of only two well-known brand items on this rack.In general, the lesser-known brands came with a much steeper discount than recognizable ones. Here, for example, the Guess top was about 25% off while the Cable & Gauge one was more than 55% off.But there was one exception: Calvin Klein. This Backstage store carried a lot of Calvin Klein items and offered huge discounts on them.
