Betty Ford was a devotee. Former Macy's Executive George Greenberg, 60, Loehmann's chairman and president, recalls a woman approaching him and saying: "Coming to Loehmann's is like therapy forme." Loehmann's has been affecting its clientele this way since 1920, when Freida Loehmann opened a clothing shop under her Brooklyn apartment, started paying cash to top makers for garment overruns and selling them at deep discounts, also for cash...
