Mannequins and merch at major discount as Macy's empties Center City store

Everything must go from Macy's flagship store in Center City — including the mannequins.

Why it matters: Shoppers can score deep discounts — and listen to Wanamaker Grand Court Organ performances — ahead of the department store's permanent closure in the coming weeks.

Between the lines: The final date for the closure remains uncertain.

But a company spokesperson told Axios in early January that sales would run through March or April.

Thought bubble: I stopped by the store this week and was a little freaked out by the dozens of mannequins for sale on the first floor (starting around $100 for a full-sized model).

Fun fact: The 1987 flick "Mannequin" had a filming location in Wanamaker's Department Store.
