Macy’s Inc. confirmed on January 9 that it will close 66 of Macy’s non-go-forward store locations. These closures are a part of the retailer’s “Bold New Chapter” strategy, which it announced in February 2024.

The retailer designed the “Bold New Chapter” plan to return the company to sustainable, profitable sales growth, including closing approximately 150 underproductive stores over three years while investing in its 350 go-forward Macy’s locations through fiscal 2026.

“Consumers have endless options when it comes to where and how they shop. Macy’s customers expect seamless in-store and online shopping experiences and continuous improvements to meet those expectations.

“Closing any store is never easy, but as part of our Bold New Chapter strategy, 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. in a media release.

Since Macy’s announced its “A Bold New Chapter” strategy on February 27, 2024, investments in the pilot Macy’s stores (first 50) have reportedly “boosted sales for three consecutive quarters and contributed to record customer satisfaction scores for the Macy’s nameplate.” Building on that success, Macy’s confirmed in a media release that as it “enters 2025 [it is] well-positioned to build momentum with a stronger store fleet and remains focused on bringing this enhanced customer experience to more locations nationwide and through its digital channels.”
