Even before the lockdowns in the U.S. last year, Macy\u2019s had announced the plan to close 125 of its least productive stores to tackle plummeting mall traffic. It had closed about 30 stores in 2020. \u201cMacy\u2019s is committed to rightsizing our store fleet by concentrating our existing retail locations in desirable and well-trafficked A and B malls,\u201d Macy\u2019s said in an emailed statement. The COVID-19 outbreak has worsened the plight of certain mall-based chains, forcing them to shutter stores and double down on their online business, while few chains are looking to open smaller stores in off-mall locations. Macy\u2019s, which operates over 750 shops, including Bluemercury, and Bloomingdale\u2019s, said it would post a list of stores expected to be closed this year on its website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Struggling financially?
