what macy's stores are closing
Macyâs Herald Square store in New York. Department store giant Macyâs said Thursday it plans to close 100 stores, a dramatic step that is aimed at helping the chain get ahead of a potentially crippling problem: America, executives say, has too many stores for the online shopping era.
The Shoppingtown Mall location in Syracuse was shuttered in early 2015 with a dozen other stores in another round of closings. As of Wednesday, Macy's had about 163,000 total workers. Macy's said sales at existing stores and excluding licensed departments fell 5.2 percent in November and December.
