The famous department store Macy’s has announced that they will be closing 150 of their locations as they enter what they call a “bold new chapter”. In a press release, Macy’s confirmed that these 150 stores are “underproductive” and will be closed over a three-year period.

“This plan is designed to return the company to sustainable, profitable sales growth,” Macy’s stated in the press release.

Which Macy’s stores are closing?

Currently, Macy’s has confirmed 66 of the 150 stores to be closed and at least nine are in New York state. Here are the New York locations which will be closing soon.

Macy’s is not the only retailer closing down stores. More than 7,100 others closed down in 2024, including Joann and Kohls.

Another part of Macy’s “Bold New Chapter” strategy is to invest in 350 go-forward locations through 2026. They will open 15 Bloomingdale’s and remodel 30 existing Bluemercury locations over the next three years as well.

“Closing any store is never easy, but as part of our Bold New Chapter strategy, we are closing underproductive Macy’s stores to allow us to focus our resources and prioritize investments in our go–forward stores, where customers are already responding positively to better product offerings and elevated service,” Macy’s Chairman and CEO Tony Spring said.
