Penneys is out. Macy's is going down. I think Dillards is in trouble as well.

Not the greatest examples, though if some of these companies were to partner with the department stores it could work. Macy's does something like this with Sunglass Hut already, and maybe even the makeup counters?

Part of the issue is going to come down to service and image. When I go into The Buckle I get treated like I'm the only person that exists. When I go into Macy's I get treated like I don't exist. I don't know what Diesel was like but I would guess more on the side of The Buckle. Also would a Macy's clientele pay $100 for a pair of jeans?
