Burdines was a leading department store chain in the state of Florida that was part of Federated Department Stores, Inc. It mainly attracted middle and lower-middle class people though sometimes even some of the upper-middle class. The stores were usually decorated with pink walls, blue ceilings with streaks of clouds, and large plastic palm trees circling the center of the store. These icons still remain in the stores which are now Macy's for nostalgia purposes and symbolize the new Macy's Florida division.

Burdines then quickly abandoned this plan and resumed with traditional cashier layouts. Aerial photograph of St. ...
