Shopping Guide
There's No Place Like Field's
(But these are the next closest thing to it.)
Compiled by S.B. & FieldsFansChicago.org
Vote for Field's. Every dollar you spend at these stores is like a vote for the return of Marshall Field's. Shop these stores instead of Macy's and Bloomingdale's.
We have distributed over 105,000 leaflets that remind you that every dollar you spend at Macy's (and Bloomingdale's) is like a vote against bringing back Marshall Field's. Every dollar you spend at C.D. Peacock, Von Maur, Carson's, Crate & Barrel, Garrett Popcorn, Nordstrom's, Sears, Fannie May, or any other store sends a message to Macy's that it must bring back Marshall Field's. Please remind your family and friends to help by boycotting Macy's. Please remind your family and friends that under no circuumstances would you ever want a gift from Macy's or Bloomingdale's.
There’s no place like Marshall Field’s, but the following is a very brief and incomplete list of some options you have until Marshall Field's is restored in service and quality as well as name.
