Macy’s announced their plan to start closing down stores earlier this year. This move is based in a strategy that aims to close lower-performing locations to reinvest and rebuild some of their more successful stores.
They planned to close 150 stores by 2026 and predicted 50 Macy’s store closures in 2024 alone. However, the number of Macy’s stores closing in 2024 has already exceeded their predictions. Interestingly, Macy’s says this is actually to their benefit since they are able to monetize the store closures through real estate deals. While the department store has not released an official list of stores that will no longer be in operation, we have asembled a list of stores which have already closed or are expected to close in 2024. Let’s take a look at the Macy’s store closure list to see which locations may no longer be operating beyond this year.

Macy’s Store Closures in California
The state of California is seeing the most store closures of any state in the country. The following locations are expected to be out of operation by 2026 when Macy’s completes its strategic plan.
- Bayfair Center in San Leandro, California
- Simi Valley Town Center in Simi Valley, California
- Parkway Plaza in El Cajon, California
- Hilltop Mall in Richmond, California

Since Macy’s has not released an official list of stores, some Macy’s employees/former employees created this subreddit to help keep informed on which stores are no longer in operation. After the 150 planned Macy’s store closures by 2026 there will be around 350 Macy’s stores that remain open.
Macy’s is not the only popular retailer closing stores across the country. Many retailers have been forced to combat changing consumer behaviors, high inflation, and a challenging economy.
