Macy's Closing White Plains Galleria Store
WHITE PLAINS, NY — The Macy's store at the White Plains Galleria is one of 37 announced Wednesday that will be closing.
As many as 125 stores could close by 2023, Macy's officials have said.
Macy's officials said regular, non-seasonal employees will be offered positions at other locations and those unable to be relocated will be eligible for severance, including "outplacement resources."
Clearance sales at both locations will begin this month and run for eight to 12 weeks, officials said.
A full list of store closures is available here, according to CNBC.
Other Macy's stores in the Hudson Valley are in Poughkeepsie, Yorktown, Middletown and West Nyack and Yonkers.
Macy's currently operates 544 of its namesake department stores, along with 34 Bloomingdale's locations, 19 Bloomingdale's outlets and 166 Bluemercury shops, according to its website.
In a November earnings report, Macy's declared that same-store sales for the quarter declined by greater than 20 percent and cited the coronavirus pandemic.
Digital sales grew by 27 percent, but the gains were not enough to offset store-related losses, according to the report.
Officials said Macy's is "committed to rightsizing our store fleet" by concentrating existing retail locations in "desirable and well-trafficked A and B malls."
