Bamberger's was a Newark, New Jersey headquartered department store chain with locations primarily in New Jersey, but also Delaware, Maryland, New York, and Pennsylvania.

History

Founded in 1893 by Louis Bamberger as L. Bamberger & Company in Newark, New Jersey, in 1912 the company built its landmark flagship store designed by Jarvis Hunt at 131 Market Street (Hunt would also design the Newark Museum following a gift from Bamberger). In 1929, Bamberger's was purchased by R.H. Macy Co. The famous Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade was originated in Newark by Bamberger's. Early suburban branch stores were built in downtown Morristown and in Plainfield and at the Princeton Shopping Center in Princeton, NJ. With the post-World War II population shift, Bamberger's built additional stores in suburban locations such as Garden State Plaza, Monmouth Mall, Nanuet Mall and Menlo Park Mall. The 1960s and 1970s saw expansion throughout New Jersey and into the Greater Philadelphia Metropolitan area, while the 1980s brought entry into the Baltimore, Maryland Metropolitan area. On October 5, 1986, the Bamberger's stores adopted the name Macy's New Jersey, and in 1988 Macy's New Jersey was consolidated with sister division Macy's New York to form Macy's Northeast (now the Macy's East division of Macy's, Inc.).

WOR history

WOR radio was started by Bamberger Broadcasting Service 1922 in an effort to sell more radios. The broadcast studio was located on the 6th floor. The radio station was included as part of the sale to R.H. Macy Co. in 1929, and Bamberger Broadcasting Service became a division on the company. WOR-FM began broadcasting in 1948 simulcasting the AM programming. WOR-TV, Channel 9 signed on the air on October 11, 1949 becoming the last of the New York City VHF television stations to begin operations. WOR-TV studios were located on 42nd Street in New Amsterdam Theater. Macy's/Bamberger's sold the WOR stations to the General Tire and Rubber Company in 1952.
