The department store Macy's Inc. announced on Thursday that it would close 66 underperforming stores in 2025.
Newsweek has contacted the Macy's press office for comment via email outside standard working hours.
Why It Matters
The department store has been struggling with declining sales, which has been affecting the wider retail store sector for years as traditional outlets compete with fast-fashion retailers and digital stores, Axios reported.

The closures, which follow a 2024 surge in the number of shuttered stores, mean fewer brick-and-mortar options for consumers.
Macy's Locations Set To Close
In February, the department store announced its "Bold New Chapter" strategy, of which these closures are a part.
The plan is designed to "return the company to sustainable, profitable sales growth which includes closing approximately 150 underproductive stores over a three-year period while investing in its 350 go-forward Macy's locations through fiscal 2026," the store said in a news release on Thursday.
According to Macy's, the majority of the 66 locations set for closure in 2025 are expected to shutter during the first quarter of the year. The stores are spread across 22 states, which are listed below.
