Interstate, Ramsey, New Jersey; and
Budget House, Tukwila, Washington.
Macy’s did not provide a timeline for when these locations would close.
The store closings are a part of the “Bold New Chapter” strategy, which was announced in February 2024.
“Nearly two years into our Bold New Chapter strategy, the focus of our work remains the same: strengthen our stores, simplify how we operate, and invest in the experiences that matter most to our customers,” said CEO Tony Spring in a memo to employees shared by Macy’s.
The retailer is planning to close 150 underperforming locations over a three-year period as it looks to reach “sustainable, profitable sales growth.”
In 2025, the retailer shuttered 66 locations, including stores in New York, California, Florida, and Texas.
The decision to close these stores was not made lightly, said Spring.
Affected employees were notified first and offered support, he said, including transfer opportunities where available, severance, and outplacement resources.
“These targeted changes allow us to focus where it will have the greatest impact – reimagining our best stores, enhancing customer service, expanding our luxury business, and advancing our supply chain capabilities,” said Spring.
As part of its strategy, Macy’s has revamped 125 existing stores, called the “Reimagine 125,” which have continued to outperform, it said, with comp sales up 3 percent in the third quarter.
Its investments in elevated merchandising, store design, and the customer experience are working, said Spring.
He also noted strength in its luxury business, with Bloomingdale’s posting 9 percent comp sales growth in Q3, its strongest in 13 quarters.
Bluemercury, its luxe skincare retailer, delivered its 19th consecutive quarter of comp sales growth.
“Greater focus across the business, strengthened by how our colleagues demonstrate hospitality and care for customers and one another, allowing us to invest more in the stores, capabilities, and experiences that matter most,” said Spring.
