Macy's has announced plans to close 14 store locations across the country by the end of 2026, including two stores in California. The closures are part of a broader restructuring effort by the company's new CEO, Tony Spring, who took over in 2024 and has pledged to shutter 150 underperforming stores by the end of this year.

Why it matters

Macy's store closures reflect the ongoing challenges facing traditional department stores as they compete with e-commerce and changing consumer shopping habits. The California closures will impact local communities and highlight the evolving retail landscape in the state.

The details

The 14 Macy's stores slated for closure include locations in La Mesa, California at the Grossmont Center and in Tracy, California at the West Valley Mall. Other stores set to close are in Georgia, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Texas, and Washington. The company says the closures will help it cut costs and focus on high-performing stores, luxury brands, and digital shopping experiences.

• Macy's announced plans in 2024 to close 150 underperforming stores by the end of 2026.
