21st March 2024

Macy’s and Nordstrom face off in the Department Store region finals. Who are Maximum Fun’s picks? Tune in to find out, and then vote on your own!

Episode notes

Hello mallrats! We are moving along to the Department Store region to talk about which is the most malliest one: Macy’s or Nordstrom! Only one of these iconic department stores will make it to the Final 8 and it is up to you to decide! But don’t worry, we have two more Maximum Fun staffers here to guide you through this tough decision.

CEO Bikram Chatterji’s pick is the top seed, Macy’s. He might be the sole member of Maximum Fun’s C-Suite, but he knows a department store for the people when he sees one.

Marissa Flaxbart, producer and worker-owner, picks Nordstrom. She tells us why it’s actually a better mall store, despite Macy’s one-stop-shopness.

Tomorrow, we’ll be covering the Cool T(w)eens and “I’m Just Looking” regions. In the meantime, Find us on social media @maxfunhq and participate in our mall polls! But be quick, because they’ll only be up for 24 hours.

About the show

MaxFun Presents is dedicated to stuff a little more behind the scenes and fun at Maximum Fun, a worker-owned podcast network. 

Join the staff of Maximum Fun as we argue over what makes the perfect mall store in our March Malldness bracket. Is it the iconic scent of a baked pretzel or cinnamon roll as you walk through the food court? Affordable ear piercings or blacklight band posters? Memories of an unsanctioned sports official checking if your shoe size is in the back or lounging in a massage chair after a long day of shopping?

Every episode pits two iconic mall brands head-to-head from regions like Department Stores, Food Court and “I’m just looking” to decide what deserves your vote in the March Malldness bracket. The winner will be announced during the MaxFunDrive Finale stream on Friday, March 29, 2024.
