Wanamaker's department store was absorbed by 'Hecht's Department Store in 1995, which later became part of the Macy's group.

Wanamaker's was the first department store in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and one of the first department stores in the United States. Today, Wanamaker's (or Macy's) still feature their magnificent six-manual organ, now considered as the largest working pipe organ in the world.
