How franchise of macys?

Macy's operates a Franchising model primarily through its off-price division, Macy's Backstage, and through partnerships with certain brands. While traditional Macy's department stores are company-owned, the franchise model allows for greater flexibility and expansion into new markets. This approach helps Macy's reach a broader customer base while leveraging local expertise. However, franchising is not the main focus of Macy's overall business strategy.
