Announced this morning the only one we have in our town is closing and it means 65 jobs.   First it was built to  house Sanger Harris then sold to Foley's then became Macy's.  Will have to see what we get next in such a big store surrounded by so many small boutiques.  So sorry for the families.

@beckyb1012 I bet it will take a long time to find a business for a large store.We have lost many in our area and they remain vacant years later.I think the days of large clothing stores are over.We have become such good online shoppers and the rent for these buildings in malls is crazy high.

It is a shame too.  Since I hate shopping I only go to the mall about once or twice a year.  Did not go at all during Christmas in fact I went only for a quick trip to the AT&T kiosk in Sept. and on election day American Cookie was offering a free cookie with I voted sticker.  Sugar fix was enough for me to deal with the traffic at 4:00 on a Tues. afternoon.  Otherwise, I just go to the independent offsite stores like Macy's.  Oh well always the internet.

I haven't spent a dime at Macy's since 2013, when they sent a letter to Rick Perry and asked him to veto a fair pay for women act here in Texas. If they don't believe it should be easier for women to take a company to court after learning they've been paid less than men for the same work, then they don't deserve any of my money.

I never go in a Macy's nor do I ever buy online from them... possibly there are many many who do not shop Macy's.  Like Sears... Macy's is a dying breed.

Where are we to go to shop ,with all these stores closing,if one wants to go to a actually store? Shopping on line is a big part of stores closing, i am guilty.

I stayed away from Macy's during the holidays because the traffic was horrible.  I'm hoping to go next week again. My last shopping experience there was awful but it might have been an isolated incident.

After my Doctor's visit yesterday morning, we did a run into Macy's... so empty as was the parking lot for the mall.  I told my husband, "Remember when it was always crowded?".  Our store is pretty nice, th  ey've even added a Lenscrafters and you can use your Macy's card.

Macy's had bought out quite a few chains around the country over the years. They have been way overextended for years.  There are a huge number of stores now called Macy's that were never Macy's stores to begin with. There never could have been room for all of them. They're just having to ditch many of the stores they overbought.

I have never shopped at Macy's as I've never found anything (clothes-wise) I like there.

Cry me a river. Like so many before them, greed, horrific management and buyers who are clueless as to what their customers want are destroying what was once a great company. Same old, same old.
