Thursday’s Factors and Events
Macy’s is closing dozens of department stores this year, in a bid to move out of underperforming malls and trim a real estate empire that isn’t as valued as it once was.
The closures, first reported by CNBC on Tuesday, are part of a previously announced plan by Macy’s to shut 125 locations by 2023, which the retailer outlined last February. In turn, the company has said it plans to focus on investing in the best malls across the United States and grow off-mall.
