Macy’s has announced it’s closing 100 of its retail stores…but it’s not announcing which ones until a later time. So there’s no word yet on whether that includes any of the three Macy’s stores in the Rochester area.
Most of the stores will close in early 2017. A Macy’s press release says the decision will be made based on whether the value of the real estate the store is standing on exceeds its value as a retail store.
Macy’s is gradually ramping up its digital retail operation and ramping down its brick-and-mortar stores.
