Macy's is kicking off the year with a round of store closings.
The department-store chain plans to close seven stores over the next few months, six of which are mall-based locations. Liquidation sales are expected to start at some stores in the next few weeks.
USA Today was the first to report the news.
The store closings are part of Macy's restructuring plans, which were announced in February 2020. The company said at the time that it would close 125 locations – about one-fifth of its store count – over the next five years. It also cut 2,000 corporate jobs.
A spokesperson for Macy's told Insider that store workers would be offered roles at nearby locations or severance packages. The spokesperson did not comment on whether Macy's plans to close additional stores beyond the 125 locations announced in 2020.
In its most recent earnings call, Macy's Chief Financial Officer Adrian Mitchell said the company is taking a close look at when it will close its 60 remaining stores out of the 125 on the list. It's also continuing to test its presence away from malls by opening new locations such as Market by Macy's, its trendy concept store.
