May Department Stores Gobbled by Federated Department Stores
May Department Stores will be acquired by Federated Department Stores according to the Wall Street Journal e-mail which reached me just minutes ago… So I guess they have the scoop. A quick search of Google news shows no other reports of the talks reaching a conclusion. However, the report apparently isn’t official as it is attributed to a non-entity. The Journal lists the source of the information as “according to a person familiar with the matter.” Well, tomorrow there will no doubtedly be an official announcement one way or another.
