What's the timeline?
Since the 8th clearly didn't give us the answers we all wanted, does anyone ACTUALLY know the real date for the release of the next closure list? For stores,not distribution centers.
If business has been doing well, that still doesn't mean there won't be cuts
There's no limit to greed. We get the short end of the stick whether the business is booming or busting. Don't ever relax, especially in retail. Better to always be on the lookout for other options. You never know - you may come across a better... — read more
A high-performing store
My store is high-performing, do we have anything to worry about? I remember reading a while ago somebody complained about being blindsided with closing since the location was high-performing, but I thought the person was trolling. Does it ever happen... — read more
Macy's NOT Closing Yet?
The company said it also planned to invest in 350 other locations through fiscal year 2026, and confirmed 66 of the 150 closures moving forward. Closures include stores in states such as California, Georgia, New York and Texas. By March 2025, stores... — read more
Any news from store managers?
Besides Great northern and Livingston, any others confirmed to close? Any surprises? New ones?
Any News on what New York Stores will be Closing
Just curious if anyone knows if any New York stores are closing. I work at a New York store & don’t believe my store is in danger of closing because we are in a mall & it was busy during the holiday season but I know one or two around me might be. — read more
Are the Store Managers being notified today?
Are announcements going out today to Store Managers? Did it already happen? Any updates?
Updates on position changes or elimination
Hi, anyone out there know if there are any changes or elimination on management positions?
How hard is it to get fired?
I’m doing a ok job. My boss thinks I’m not doing enough but I try my best. I make mistakes sometimes but nothing serious. I think my boss is trying to get me fired. Can I get fired for this?
New in store Starbucks
Seems like a lot of new in store Starbucks have been popping up (non kiosk). Is the goal to roll this out to most of the renovation stores that don't currently have a Starbucks in their mall? The Starbucks in my mall left during the pandemic so this... — read more
Anyone know how severance pay works?? what if they offer you a position at another location and you decline?
Wondering if anyone has credible info on how severance actually works. I know its 1 week for every year maxed out at 25.
Is January 8th closure announcement day?
Will Store Managers find out if their location is closing on Jan 8th? Or sooner?
When do we find out if we close?
Apparently im on one of these "lists"... When do employees find out. It is a pretty cr-ppy mall and i heard some coworkers discussing redeveleopment. So far my manager hasnt said anything
Who knows
Anyone has inside info on store job cuts? Managers everywhere are concerned. Every year. I swear Macy's is the worst at this.
Store closing? List it here.
If you know that your store is closing, feel free to list it below. For example.. Columbia Place
How long before we go out of business?
They can only close so many stores before there’s nothing left to cut. At the pace they’re going, having ten stores left in five years would feel like a miracle. This really looks like a slow death by a thousand cuts for Macy’s.
Patch Confirms a Closure?
IS it true? https://patch.com/maryland/across-md/multiple-md-retailers-planning-2026-closures-see-list They say the Towson store is for 2026 closing.... ??? Is it true? Hope not
Our location was swarming with contractors in the last few weeks
Is this a sign we’re among the closing stores? We haven’t been told anything yet, but this has me shaken.

How’s your store treating you!?
Just curious how other store managers supported their teams during the holiday season. Our location did not receive any form of acknowledgment — not even a simple holiday greeting. There were no small gestures of appreciation such as candy, food, or... — read more
How are you holding up?
My store has been very busy, and we’ve been run off our feet. Partly that’s due to incompetent management, but there’s also been a lot of customer traffic. I’m hearing that not all stores have been this crowded. I’m curious to see what the final... — read more
Holidays With NO Replenishment
Our store got holiday merchandise early around September and October, two days til Christmas and we barely have anything customers want in stock. We haven't had any replenishment since before Black Friday !
Macy's Layoffs 2026
Is there going to be any reorg or Macy's layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
"East Region -Hold per HRBP" in job title
Just saw a manager job for my store posted with "East Region -Hold per HRBP" in the position title. What does this mean? It's a store that someone on here claimed would be closing but it has not shown up on any closing lists and seems to do very well... — read more
HSQ Return to office mandate
Herald square NYO colleagues have a 10 am update tomorrow. Anyone have the details?
Closure announcements
Are they going to announce the next round of closures right before inventory like they did last year?
Macys Clearance Store
I like this concept and I noticed that they are starting to do this at some locations. I only know of one and that’s the Brunswick Square store over by New Jersey. Interesting and didn’t expect this at all, but I’ve always thought they should do... — read more
Black Friday was meh in my neck of the woods
I hope it’s just a fluke and not a preview of what’s ahead.
50 percent off Backstage offer
Whoever did this is a mo--n. The way it shows up on the screen is completely confusing for customers and staff. To do this to us on Black Friday is ridiculous. Most of my customers DO NOT SPEAK ENGLISH. Trying to explain this pricing to them is... — read more
Closing hours
Noticed some stores are not staying open as late this holiday season. Is that a sign they are on the chopping list? Seems to be quite a bit of overlap between that and the earlier closing stores, at least in the DMV.
spring head counts ?
Newer MBA here wondering when we will know our spring headcount’s and budgets for Q1 ? And any information anyone could share would be appreciated
Short staffed from top to bottom
The whole place feels stretched thin because we’re missing people on the floor and in management, and it shows every day.
No one wants seasonal BOH
We only have a handful of positions and it's been ridiculously hard to hire. Anyone else have this issue? We've hired 1 or 2 that never showed. People have the worst resumes if they have one at all and some don't want to work the weekend! Hellooooo -... — read more
