Macy's marks Thanksgiving Day Parade 100th anniversary with varsity jacket, rare photo book. Published on 4 September 2026 at 9:39 am - Written by Emily Stanton - Reading duration: 2 minutes Macy's has expanded the merchandise tied to its centennial Thanksgiving Day Parade, rolling out new collaborations and limited-edition items on a dedicated online shop. The latest drops range from a commemorative varsity jacket to a collector's coffee-table book and a scented candle - offerings that matter now for holiday shoppers and parade collectors who may face tight supplies. Anchor drop: a commemorative varsity jacket and patches. The centerpiece of the collection is a letterman-style jacket decorated with embroidered patches and parade-themed graphics, available in sizes from XS to XXL for around $150. For those who don't want the full jacket, Macy's is also selling the patches separately so shoppers can add parade flair to existing coats or bags. Limited runs of apparel are a common tactic for anniversary merchandising, and this release is likely to sell quickly as fall retail ramps up and buyers look for seasonal or collectible pieces. Books, fragrances and small keepsakes. Macy's added a retailer-exclusive hardcover titled Let's Have a Parade: Celebrating 100 Macy's Parades by Kim Keller. Priced near $50, the volume collects rare photographs, behind-the-scenes anecdotes and a history of the parade's balloons dating back to 1927 - material aimed at enthusiasts and gift buyers alike. Home-fragrance fans get a collaboration with luxury brand Apotheke: a 10.5-ounce parade-inspired candle in a decorated glass vessel. Notes listed for the scent include crisp apple, coriander, mahogany and roasted oak; the candle retails for about $52 and is intended as a keepsake long after burning. Smaller souvenir lines include anniversary pins, ornaments, keychains and bag charms. Among apparel accessories, the collection's top sellers so far include a canvas patch tote, a pullover hoodie, a crewneck sweatshirt and a baseball cap. | Item | What it is | Approx. price | | 100th Parade Varsity Jacket | Embroidered letterman jacket, unisex, XS-XXL | $150 | | Let's Have a Parade | Hardcover coffee-table book by Kim Keller | $50 | | Apotheke x Macy's Candle | 10.5 oz parade-inspired scent in decorated glass | $52 | | Patch Canvas Tote | Durable canvas tote with balloon-character graphics | $59 | | Pullover Hoodie / Crewneck / Cap | Casual parade-branded apparel | $60 / $50 / $30 | Quick reference - current best-sellers: * Patch Canvas Tote - sturdy graphic tote, fan favorite * Pullover hoodie - casual, $60 * Crewneck sweatshirt - $50 * Baseball cap - $30 What shoppers should know.

Greenheck to purchase former Macy's distribution center near Owasso. * Michael Dekker Tulsa World * Sep 3, 2026 Updated 2 hrs ago * 0 Michael Dekker Tulsa World Wisconsin-based Greenheck Group, a manufacturer of commercial air movement, control and conditioning equipment, plans to purchase the former Macy's distribution center in north Tulsa County. The location near Owasso is expected to represent about $300 million in capital investment and create more than 700 new jobs over the next five years, more than doubling the company's manufacturing footprint in Oklahoma, a Tulsa Regional Chamber news release said. Located less than 15 minutes from Greenheck's existing Tulsa location near Tulsa International Airport, the 1.3 million-square-foot facility sits on 72 acres and will "provide significant manufacturing and office space to support the company's continued growth," the release said. People are also reading... Greenheck expects to finalize initial building upfit improvements by spring, with the first production beginning shortly thereafter, it said. "Every time a customer chooses Greenheck Group, they are placing their trust in our team, and we are grateful for that trust," Greenheck CEO Rich Totzke said in the release. "That trust makes investments like this possible, and we take seriously our responsibility to be ready to serve customers today and well into the future. This expansion builds on the incredible work our Tulsa team has already done and helps make Greenheck Group stronger so we can support the growth of our business partners and create more opportunities for team members wherever they work." Greenheck Group first announced plans to build a Tulsa campus in 2017 at Apache Street and 129th East Avenue. The company's original location has since grown to eight buildings, 850,000 square feet of manufacturing space and more than 900 team members. "Greenheck Group's continued investment in the Tulsa region speaks volumes about the strength of our region as a place for manufacturing and long-term business growth," Tulsa Regional Chamber President and CEO Mike Neal said. "The company made Tulsa a promise in 2017, and it exceeded it exponentially. This next chapter demonstrates Greenheck's confidence in our region's workforce, business environment and ability to accommodate the manufacturer's growth as it continues to serve its customers." Greenheck was established in Schofield, a suburb of Wausau, in north-central Wisconsin, in 1947. It has more than 5,000 employees in eight states, Mexico and India, according to its website. "Less than a year after this facility lost hundreds of jobs, Greenheck is making a major investment and bringing hundreds of new manufacturing careers to our region," Tulsa County Commissioner Stan Sallee said. "Greenheck's investment says a lot about the strength of Oklahoma's workforce, our economy and our ability to compete." Gov. Kevin Stitt said in the release, "I am proud to have been a part of the process of bringing more Greenheck Group jobs to Oklahoma. I met with the Greenheck Group team in my office, and we were able to work out the terms of the deal." The former Macy's building was sold to Greenheck for $80 million, according to county land records.
