From Free PB&Js and Charge Ups to Red Cross Donations, Retailers Show Post-Sandy Compassion
Retail (and life in general) is starting (trying?) to get back to normal after Sandy. Barneys opened yesterday and today, Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdale’s, Saks and Macy’s opened their doors along with plenty of other stores in areas with power.
