Macy’s is Closing 40 Stores, Find Out if Your Store is One of Them

January 7, 2016

Macy’s will be closing 40 of its 770 department stores throughout the country and laying off 4,800 workers after a disappointing 2015 holiday season.

America’s largest department store chain announced in a press release yesterday that they will be enacting cost-efficiency measures by cutting 2,110 jobs at the staffing level at existing stores and 2,710 jobs from store closures. Macy’s Inc, which also owns upscale Bloomingdale’s, plans to cut $400 million in annual costs from store closures after seeing an increase in online and mobile spending during the holidays.

Final clearance sales at Macy’s stores scheduled to close by spring 2016 will begin Monday, Jan. 11 and run for eight to 12 weeks. Final clearance sales have already begun at stores in Westfield Century City, North Dekalb Mall and Roseburg Valley Mall.
