Macy’s announced in early January 2026 that it will close 14 stores in 2026 across 12 U.S. states as the next step in its “Bold New Chapter” store optimization plan. These closures are part of a broader strategy to reduce about 150 underperforming Macy’s locations by early 2027 while focusing investment on around 350 “go-forward” stores.

Stores Closing in 2026

The 14 stores scheduled to close in early 2026 are:

  • California
    • La Mesa – Grossmont Center
    • Tracy – West Valley Mall
  • Georgia
    • Atlanta – Northlake Mall
  • Maryland
    • Glen Burnie – Marley Station Mall
  • Michigan
    • Grandville – RiverTown Crossings
  • Minnesota
    • Saint Cloud – Crossroads Center
  • New Hampshire
    • Newington – Mall at Fox Run
  • New Jersey
    • Livingston – Livingston Mall
    • Ramsey – Interstate Shopping Center
  • New York
    • Amherst – Boulevard Mall
  • North Carolina
    • Raleigh – Triangle Town Center
  • Pennsylvania
    • Tamaqua – Tamaqua Mall
  • Texas
    • Corpus Christi – La Palmera Mall
  • Washington
    • Tukwila – Furniture Clearance Center

What’s Happening with These Stores

  • Each closing store will hold a clearance sale starting around mid-January 2026, with sales expected to last about 10 weeks before the store fully shuts down.
  • Macy’s says these decisions are based on ongoing portfolio reviews and are meant to improve overall profitability by focusing resources on more productive locations.
  • The 14 announced 2026 closures are separate from the earlier wave of 66 store closures announced in early 2025, which mainly took place throughout 2025 and into early 2026.

Broader Store Cuts (2024–2026)

Under its “Bold New Chapter” strategy, Macy’s intends to close about 150 underproductive stores over roughly three years, with most of those closures happening between 2024 and the end of its fiscal year in January 2027. That includes:

  • 66 stores closed (or committed to close) in early 2025.
  • An additional 14 closing in early 2026.
  • More closures expected in 2026 and early 2027, though Macy’s hasn’t yet publicly named those specific locations.

How to Check If a Local Store Is Closing

If you’re wondering about a specific Macy’s:

  • You can call the store directly; managers usually have a closing timeline once the corporate announcement is made.
  • Employees and local shopping mall news often post about clearance sales and planned shutter dates in community groups and forums.
  • Macy’s will also update the status of these 14 stores on its main store locator page and in local press releases as the 10‑week sale periods begin.
