Major Retailer Closing 66 Stores, 9 in New York
The closings keep coming. Another major retailer has revealed which stores they will be shutting down and 9 of them are in New York State.
2025 is starting how 2024 ended - with more store closures. This time it's Macy's.
The company announced last month it would close 66 underperforming stores in early 2025. It's all part of the Bold New Chapter strategy unveiled last year.
"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,” said Tony Spring, chairman, and chief executive officer of Macy’s, Inc.
