Macy’s notes that the store closures are part of its plan to close 100 of its retail locations. This plan started in August 2016 and is still ongoing. The addition of these 11 new locations to the Macy’s stores closing list brings the total locations closed under the plan to 81.
Macy’s says that it still has plans to close an additional 19 stores as leases or operating covenants expire, or sale transactions are completed. The company says that the reason for the store closures are to assure that it has the proper mix of brick-and-mortar and digital footprint. This is likely the retailer’s effort to deal with declining traffic as online shopping continues to grow in popularity with customers.
M stock was down 3% as of Thursday afternoon.
