Macy’s, the renowned American department store chain, has revealed its plans to reshape its strategy and retail footprint. The company announced on Tuesday that it will be closing approximately 150 Macy’s stores over the next three years. However, it also intends to expand its upscale chains, Bloomingdale’s and Bluemercury.
This move comes as Macy’s aims to adapt to changing consumer preferences and the evolving retail landscape. By closing underperforming stores, the company aims to optimize its operations and focus on its more successful brands. At the same time, the expansion of Bloomingdale’s and Bluemercury is expected to cater to the demand for higher-end products.
Macy’s decision reflects the ongoing challenges faced by traditional brick-and-mortar retailers in the face of e-commerce competition. The company’s efforts to streamline its operations and invest in its upscale brands are part of its broader strategy to remain competitive in the retail industry.
