Macy's is closing these stores
Macy’s (NYSE:M), owner of Bloomingdale’s and Bluemercury, is taking additional steps to become more nimble in the face of the challenging retail environment for brick-and-mortar stores. Macy’s is among many retailers facing rising competition from online behemoth Amazon (NYSE:AMZN) and Walmart (NYSE:WMT) which has ramped up its online business with niche acquisitions such as Moosejaw, Modcloth, Shoebuy.com and Jet.com.
With that comes the closing of 11 Macy’s stores, 4 of which were previously disclosed. The retailer will now have shuttered 81 of the 100 planned store closures first announced in August 2016, according to a company statement. The cost savings from some of these closures will equal $300 million and will be reinvested in the business.
Shares of the retailer have lost 29% over the past 12 months. Compared to increases for Amazon and Walmart which have jumped 59% and 44%, respectively over the same time period.
