Macy’s has kicked off its plan of closing down several stores across the country. The retail giant previously announced the move in February 2024 while revealing their Bold New Chapter strategy. The closures of “underproductive” stores come as part of the plan.

The department store has reportedly been struggling with declining sales, which has been affecting the wider sector for years.

The moves are a “part of the Bold New Chapter strategy, which was announced in February 2024,” the company said.
