Macy’s is closing 66 stores as part of its “A Bold New Chapter” plan, with liquidation sales set to start in January, the retailer confirmed to Axios Thursday.
Why it matters: The struggling department store chain is getting smaller as it continues to deal with declining sales.
- Macy’s said last February that it planned to shutter 150 stores by the end of 2026 — about a third of its locations.
- The retailer also said it is leaning into its high-end brands and plans to invest in its “350 go-forward Macy’s locations.”
- Tony Spring, Macy’s chair and CEO, said in a statement the company is closing underproductive stores “to allow us to focus our resources and prioritize investments in our go–forward stores.”
The big picture: The department store sector has been reeling for years, struggling to compete with nimbler big-box chains, fast-fashion retailers and digital competitors.
- The industry has seen the bankruptcies of stalwart chains such as Sears, JCPenney and Neiman Marcus.
- Kohl’s announced Thursday that it was closing 27 stores by April.
Flashback: In early 2020 before the pandemic, Macy’s Inc., which includes Bloomingdale’s and Bluemercury, said it would close around 125 stores, a fifth of locations, as part of a three-year plan.
- Macy’s fell short of its target and closed 80 namesake stores.
- Last year, it closed another five stores.
Macy’s liquidation closing sales
State of play: Macy’s confirmed to Axios that clearance sales will begin in January and will run for approximately 8–12 weeks for full-line and small-format stores.
- For most furniture galleries and free-standing Backstage stores, clearance sales will begin in February and will run for approximately six weeks.

Zoom in: Macy’s typically announces closings after the holiday shopping season, which has been the case in recent years, including in January 2023 and January 2024.
- Stores slated to close include stand-alone Backstage stores, Market by Macy’s small format stores, department stores and furniture stores.
