KANSAS CITY - Macy's says it plans to close dozens of stores across the country as part of it's 'Bold New Chapter' strategy, and among the locations to close will include one in Kansas City.
The Macy's store located at the Metro North Mall location at 400 NW Barry Road will be among the 66 locations that will be closed down.
The Macy's locations at the Oak Park Mall in Overland Park and at the Town Center Plaza in Leawood are expected to remain open.
"Closing any store is never easy, but as part of our Bold New Chapter strategy, we are closing underproductive Macy’s stores to allow us to focus our resources and prioritize investments in our go–forward stores, where customers are already responding positively to better product offerings and elevated service," said Tony Spring, chairman and chief executive officer of Macy’s,
Macy's says the 'Bold New Chapter' strategy, which was announced in February 2024, aims to return the company to sustainable, profitable sales growth which includes closing approximately 150 underproductive stores over a three-year period while investing in its 350 go-forward Macy’s locations through fiscal 2026.
