There's another post about the same but what everyone needs to be clear on is this is nothing new, the announcement was back in August I believe and it's 68 of the 100 stores they already announced.

My Macy's is a class C but it is the only store in my small town that carries my favorite bras. Thank goodness mine isn't one of those closing.

We have 2 in our town, and are losring one of them so I am sad.  I prefer the one they are closing in a shopping mall just a little over a mile from my house.  The other one is downtown.  I just haven't been able to get out much and shop there for a while.   I hope things pick up this year and they can recover.  I enjoy shopping in their stores.

There was an article in the paper recently about Macy's.  They are scaling back stores and increasing on line sales.  I feel bad for any business not doing well.  I stopped shopping there years ago when they cut back on name brands and increased the style and charter lines.

Macy's has no class.  They are strictly a  money machine.  Customer Service -- I don't think so.  When they bought Marshall Field's in Chicago it was a sad day.  Unfortunately, we lost so many other stores - Bonwit Teller from the East coast and I. Magnin from the West coast.  I wish we had more options.  Looks like Sears may be seeing it's last days too.

I find things I like in my local Macy's, but they often aren't in stock in my size.  I know I can have a sales associate check inventory and have it shipped to me, but it's actually easier for me to snap a photo with my phone, go home and find it on the website and order it myself.  I can also use mrrebates this way, and get some cash back.

Not surprised.  One of my local stores is closing.  Macy's is a disaster, compared to other stores.  No clerks, mess on the floor, torn carpet.   Crowded aisles.  And that is the local "flagship" store.

In some respects, I think Macy's overbuilt and these closings are needed. There are 4-5 within a one hour drive of me in Michigan. One of those will close.The one closest to me is pretty dumpy and if I want to shop at Macy's. I'll drive to a different one. In Florida, it's a bit of a further drive, but there's 3 of them quite close together, one of which will close.

An article in this morning's newspaper says the Macy's near me will not be affected. The store I shop at is fine, well stocked, and has some great sales.

Sorry to hear others are not so well off.
