Thread regarding Macy's Inc. layoffs

Toys R Us

I was shopping at the Macy’s Tysons Corner location recently and noticed something that I actually liked.

They removed the Toys R Us section completely in that store and they also do not have a Backstage. I asked an associate as to why they dont have a Backstage and they said that the store does so much volume that there’s no need to carve out space to trade down for the Backstage customer.

Are there other stores like this in where Backstage is not needed and/or a Toys R Us pad is no longer available?

Not all Macy's have Backstage departments (I am not sure of the criteria but it's not just the ones in the high-end malls). And as far as Toys R Us is concerned, they started scaling them back in all the Macy's earlier this year and I heard the contract is up. There are new free-standing Toys R Us stores opening up in a lot of locations so that may be why, too.

Interesting b/c we have a very high end mall near me (Saks, Tiffany, Louis Vuitton) and that store has a Backstage. I was shocked. I guess the rich wanna ship cheap too

@ax people post about many more things and I find it interesting. If there's a Macy's employee site, do tell.

This is a forum for layoff related discussions. Please post in the appropriate location. Frankly, who still shops at Macy's. Their merchandise is Temu level.
