Dayton: So, Macy’s is closing down 66 stores, and two of them are right here in Ohio. It’s part of a big plan to shut down 150 stores by 2026. They’re calling these stores “underproductive.”
They announced this back in February 2024, saying it’s all about getting back to making money. You know how it is—businesses need to stay profitable. They want to focus on the stores that are doing well.
Now, the two stores in Ohio that are on the chopping block are in Beavercreek and Toledo. The one in Beavercreek is at Fairfield Commons Mall, and the Toledo store is at Franklin Park Mall. It’s a bummer for those communities.
Macy’s is also opening some smaller stores, like one in South Jersey. They’re trying to adapt to what customers want, which is smart. They’ve got 20 stores in Ohio, so they’re still sticking around, just trimming the fat a bit.
As for when these closures will happen, they haven’t given a specific timeline yet. But clearance sales are set to kick off in January and will last about 8 to 12 weeks. So, if you’re near those stores, you might want to check it out.
For those who love Macy’s Backstage or their Furniture Galleries, they’ll have clearance sales starting in February. It’s a good chance to snag some deals before they close up shop.
