Macy’s closing stores nationwide: Full list of locations

Macy’s is closing 14 stores across the United States as part of a wider restructuring push that now also includes more than 1,000 layoffs, marking one of the retailer’s largest operational shake‑ups in years. 

Why It Matters 

The store closure list first surfaced earlier this month, but Thursday’s layoff announcement has renewed questions about the scale of Macy’s transformation plan and what it signals for the future of the historic department‑store chain.

What To Know 

On Thursday, Macy’s confirmed it would cut over 1,000 employees, a move described as part of a streamlining effort to “simplify” operations and reduce layers of management. 

The closures and associated layoffs were part of an “ongoing work to modernize our supply chain to better serve customers, while simplifying how we operate,” the department store told Newsweek in a statement. 

The layoffs are connected to Macy’s plan to shut down two major distribution centers in Connecticut.

The South Windsor site is scheduled to close in mid‑March, resulting in 57 job cuts, according to notices filed with the state, while operations at the much larger Cheshire fulfillment campus will gradually wind down, eliminating approximately 993 positions, before the building fully closes in April 2027.

Macy’s reiterated it would invest in 125 “Reimagine” stores, which the company says have shown improved sales performance, while continuing supply chain modernization efforts that include consolidating facilities.

The company has not detailed any broader corporate restructuring beyond the warehouse closures, but the move comes as Macy’s continues its years‑long effort to streamline operations and adapt its store footprint.

A Company in Transition

It marks the latest step in Macy’s multi-year “Bold New Chapter” plan to shut about 150 underperforming department stores while investing in 350 go-forward locations through fiscal 2026, a strategy the company said aimed to return to sustainable sales growth.

The store closures announced for 2026 represent the next phase of that plan. Macy’s has described these as underproductive stores but has not publicly attributed the individual closures to mall conditions or redevelopment factors.

Macy’s has not linked the store closures or the Connecticut layoffs to a broader shift toward a digital model, although its corporate strategy does include a stated focus on enhancing customer experience across both stores and digital channels.

What People Are Saying

A spokesperson for Macy’s told Newsweek: “After careful consideration, we’ve made the decision to close our supply chain facilities in South Windsor and Cheshire as part of our ongoing work to modernize our supply chain to better serve customers, while simplifying how we operate. We are grateful to have been a part of these communities and appreciate the important role each facility and its colleagues have played in supporting our customers over the years.”

CEO Tony Spring wrote in a letter to employees in early January: “Nearly two years into our Bold New Chapter strategy, the focus of our work remains the same: strengthen our stores, simplify how we operate, and invest in the experiences that matter most to our customers. 

“Today, that work is centered on disciplined execution and continuous improvement, with strategic investments that are guided by what customers value most.”

What Happens Next 

Macy’s said clearance sales at closing stores would run for roughly 10 weeks beginning mid-January, with locations remaining open during the sell-through period, as per MassLive. 

As store closures proceed, affected employees have been offered transfer opportunities where available, with severance and outplacement resources “where applicable.”

Spring told Macy’s staff: “In executing our strategy, we continue to review our portfolio and make careful decisions about where and how we invest, including closing underproductive stores and streamlining operations.

“These decisions are not made lightly. We communicated directly with affected colleagues first and are providing support, including transfer opportunities where available, as well as severance and outplacement resources where applicable.”
