South Windsor Facility To Close After New Wave Of Layoffs

SOUTH WINDSOR, CT — Macy’s plans to lay off an additional 57 employees at its South Windsor distribution facility, expanding on a previously announced round of more than 100 permanent job cuts and clearing the way for a full shutdown of the site.

According to a new notice sent Monday to the Connecticut Department of Labor and South Windsor Mayor Audrey Delnicki, the latest layoffs are expected to be completed by March 14. The letter states the cuts are tied to the closure of store delivery customer returns centers and confirms that “the South Windsor building and all operations will be closed.”

The additional layoffs come months after the company disclosed plans to permanently eliminate 106 jobs at the facility, located at 301 Governors Highway, as part of the shutdown of Macy’s Backstage operations. That earlier Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification said layoffs began Dec. 28, 2025, and continued through Jan. 10, 2026.

In the newest round, more than one-third of the eliminated positions are warehouse associate roles. Warehouse associates also made up more than half of the jobs affected in the earlier layoffs, according to the prior notice. Other impacted roles span a range of warehouse and support positions.

Macy’s said affected employees will receive information about severance and benefits, along with details on potential transfers to open positions at nearby company locations. Workers at the South Windsor site are not represented by a union, the notices state.

The South Windsor closure aligns with broader restructuring plans outlined by Macy’s leadership. Macy's officials said in 2024 that the retailer plans to close 150 underperforming locations by 2026.
