Macy’s store closures 2026: See the full list of doomed locations in 12 states as clearance sales begin

Fans of Macy’s Inc. will be disappointed to learn that the iconic department store has announced its next round of store closures. Fourteen Macy’s locations in 12 states will shutter as a result of this move. Here’s why and when the closures will take place.

What’s happened?

On Thursday, Macy’s published a letter from CEO Tony Spring to its employees updating them on the company’s “A Bold New Chapter” strategy, which the department store chain unveiled in February 2024.

As part of that strategy, Macy’s announced at the time that it would be closing 150 “underproductive” stores through the end of 2026. Fast Company previously reported on 66 stores marked for closure in January 2025.

In his Thursday letter, Spring said that the Bold New Chapter strategy, which includes simplifying operations and investing in customer experiences that its shoppers value most, is working.

“We are seeing customers respond through strong performance in our go-forward business, record Net Promoter Scores, and improved results over the first three quarters,” Spring stated.

As a point used to highlight the A Bold New Chapter’s success, Spring said that the strategy’s “Reimagine” element, which is seeing Macy’s invest in 125 of its best-performing stores, was paying off. Those stores saw comparative sales grow 2.7% in the third quarter, which Spring said was the result of investment in those stores’ “elevated merchandising, store design, and customer experience.”

Unfortunately for some Macy’s employees, Spring also confirmed that the next round of store closures is beginning now.

How many Macy’s stores are closing?

Spring’s memo confirmed that Macy’s will close additional stores. Axios reported earlier that 14 stores that are closing in this round, and those store locations have also been marked with the notation “This location is closing” on Macy’s store locator tool. 

The 14 stores are believed to be part of the 150 locations Macy’s previously said would close by the end of 2026 as part of its A Bold New Chapter strategy.

When will the Macy’s stores close?

In a FAQ about the store closures, Macy’s says the stores impacted will begin their clearance sales this month, and those sales will go on for approximately 10 weeks.

That places the closing date for these 14 locations at around the third week in March.

“These decisions are not made lightly,” Spring said in his letter. “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.”

How has Macy’s store reacted?

Yesterday, when Macy’s published Spring’s letter, the company’s stock price (NYSE: M) closed up for the day, around 5.5% to $23.72 per share.

However, the gain in shares probably has little to do with the announcement of the closure of those 14 stores, as the company has long informed investors that it plans to close 150 locations by the end of this year.

Instead, the share price gain was most likely driven by Spring’s comments about the company’s 2.7% comp growth in its Reimagine stores and 9% comp sales growth in its Bloomingdale’s stores in the third quarter.

With yesterday’s share price jump, Macy’s shares are now up 7.57% for the year as of the time of this writing. Over the past 12 months, Macy’s shares have jumped nearly 48% and in the last few months have traded around levels not seen since January 2023.
