The retail industry’s longest-running vendor accelerator program, The Workshop at Macy’s, is now accepting applications for its September 2023 session. This unique initiative, which has been fostering growth and providing opportunities since its inception in 2011, is dedicated exclusively to diverse, women, LGBTQ+, and veteran-owned enterprises.

Macy’s, a historical leader in the retail industry, has been a beacon of success since its establishment in 1858. Today, it stands as one of the largest and most successful department stores in the United States. In 2007, the company rebranded from Federated Department Stores, Inc., to Macy’s, Inc., marking a new era of innovation and inclusivity.

The Workshop at Macy’s offers an unparalleled platform for entrepreneurs to unlock their potential and gain invaluable support, resources, and mentorship. The program has seen numerous enhancements over the years, including the introduction of new classes and strategic sourcing in 2022.

This year, the 2023 class will have a new opportunity to access Macy’s holistic supplier ecosystem, critical education, and funding resources. Top participants in The Workshop at Macy‘s receive additional coaching and support to become sustainable, successful vendors with major retailers.
