Macy’s store closures 2026: See the full list of doomed locations in 12 states as clearance sales begin

Macy's Inc. is closing an additional 14 stores across 12 states as part of its "A Bold New Chapter" strategy. This strategy aims to streamline operations and invest in successful locations, with 150 total closures planned by the end of 2026. CEO Tony Spring stated the strategy is working, citing strong performance in key areas. The "Reimagine" initiative, investing in top-performing stores, showed positive results with increased sales. The affected stores will begin clearance sales this month, with closures anticipated around mid-March. Macy's is providing support, including transfer opportunities and severance packages, to employees. The closing stores include locations in California, Georgia, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington. Despite the closures, Macy's stock experienced a gain, likely due to positive sales trends in other areas. The stock's performance reflects investor confidence in the overall strategic direction. The store closures represent a significant shift in Macy's business model.
