Is my Macy's store closing?
Macy’s (M) is slated to close 68 stores and cut 10,000 jobs across the U.S. after holiday sales disappointed and the retailer slashed earnings forecasts. So is your local outlet set to close its doors?
Most of the stores that are closing are in urban locations, with the largest in downtown Minneapolis. The 1.25 million square-foot facility opened more than a century ago as a Dayton’s department store. Macy’s purchased it in 2005, but has recently been using only about half of the space, the Star-Tribune reported.
Texas is losing eight stores; Florida, five. Three of the stores included in the announcement have already closed, including locations in Honolulu, Hawaii, and North Hollywood, California. This map shows the stores that are being shuttered, color-coded to highlight newly announced closings.
About half of the layoffs Macy’s will make consist of store associate jobs, according to data provided by the company. Here is the full list of store closings provided by Macy’s, along with the number of employees in each outlet who are losing their jobs.
