New York, NY — Iconic department store chain Macy’s is closing dozens of locations across the United States as part of its ongoing revitalization and downsizing plan. The move marks the next phase of a retail shift that has already seen Joann, Big Lots, and Kohl’s shutter numerous stores or declare bankruptcy in 2025.
According to the company, the closures are part of a multi-year effort to make Macy’s “leaner and more profitable” as shopping trends continue to move toward e-commerce and off-price retailers.
Why Macy’s Is Closing Stores
Over a year ago, Macy’s announced a broad restructuring plan aimed at keeping the company profitable amid declining mall traffic and consumer shifts toward online shopping. The retailer said it would close approximately 150 underperforming stores across the country.
“The closings are designed to return the company to sustainable, profitable sales growth,” Macy’s leadership stated.
In the first wave of closures, 66 store locations are set to shut down by the end of this year. Some have already closed, while others are expected to finish liquidation sales in the coming months, according to Cheapism.

Macy’s Strategy Moving Forward
The closures are part of Macy’s plan to focus on high-performing stores and expand smaller-format “Market by Macy’s” and “Bloomie’s” locations. The company said it is investing in technology, online sales, and loyalty programs to adapt to modern retail trends.
“We’re positioning Macy’s for long-term success by focusing on our best customers and best locations,” the company said in a press release.
While the closures will leave several malls without an anchor tenant, Macy’s executives remain confident the shift will help sustain profitability amid changing shopping behaviors.
