However, Macy learned from his mistakes, and in 1858 he moved to New York. He opened his first New York store on October 18, 1858 and was immediately successful. Macy’s is especially famous for its Thanksgiving Day Parade, which marks the beginning of the Christmas season.
One of the oldest shops in London is Fortnum & Mason. It was founded by William Fortnum and Hugh Mason in 1707 in central London. Originally, the shop only sold food, but these days, it sells all kinds of other things including clothes, books and games.
