The iconic Macy’s “shopping bag” billboard that has loomed over Herald Square for more than 60 years is slated to be demolished and removed this weekend, The Post has learned.
The four-story, red-and-white fixture – tucked into the cut-out corner of the flagship at Broadway and West 34th Street — rests atop a 2,200-square-foot retail space owned by Kaufman Realty, which for years has been leased out to a Sunglass Hut store.
Macy’s and Kaufman have been in negotiations about the ad space, a source with knowledge of the situation told The Post. It couldn’t immediately be learned what exactly will replace the shopping bag, but the billboard is expected to be “modernized,” the source said.
