Macy's To Close 10 Stores Next Month: Will GA Be Included?

GEORGIA — Macy's department store announced in November it will close 10 stores nationwide in January 2022, and delay closing about 60 other stores on a shutdown list, according to CNBC.

These 10 stores are part of the 125 Macy's stores total the company already announced it plans to shutter by 2023; 65 of those stores already closed. The big-box giant has not yet said where the 10 stores slated to be shuttered are located, which raises questions about the fate of the locations in Georgia.

The most recent Macy's store closing in Georgia was the chain's shutdown of a store at Greenbriar Mall in Atlanta in early 2021.

Other closings in the state included Macy's at The Gallery at South Dekalb in Decatur and at the Macon Mall in spring 2020.

Macy's said it is reconsidering when it will close the remaining 60 stores because online sales do better in areas where there is a physical Macy's store.

"The delayed closure of certain stores allows us to maintain a physical presence in the market, which is critical to our top line growth," said Macy's Chief Financial Officer Adrian Mitchell, according to CNBC. "Digital performance is stronger in the markets where we have stores."
