Plans to close 150 under -performing stores by the end of 2026 were first announced by the controversial retailer in February last year. It will see the store numbers cut with a third to 350.
“We close the Underproductive Macy stores to enable us to concentrate our resources in our Go -Forward stores,” said Tony Spring, chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Macy's at the time.
In addition to renewing the stores that does not close, Macy is also planning to expand his footprint with 15 new Bloomingdale's and 30 new BlueMercury locations.
Across the whole of the line, Mary's saw the sale fall last year. But bosses said that the 50 who have already been renewed have seen sales rise.
Bosses kept the 66 doomed stores open during the holidays to let regular customers shop for Christmas and then give in to the sale.
Those being closed are the Kingston Collection Mall in Massachusetts. See below for the full list.
Initially, Macy was planning to close 55 in the first 12 months, but stepped up and settled at 66.
Once all 150 are closed, Macy's are left with only 350 stores – far away from the peak of approximately 1,100 in 2008.
