Macy's Store Closures 2026 Add 14 More Locations
macy's store closures 2026 now include 14 more locations, even after Macy's closed 66 store locations in 2025. The chain is pushing ahead with Bold New Chapter, its plan to make targeted adjustments to its physical retail footprint and reinvest in digital capabilities. For shoppers, that means more stores will disappear from the map while the remaining network gets thinner in some states.
Northlake Mall and Grossmont Center
14 stores are set to close in 2026, including the Macy's at Grossmont Center, West Valley Mall and Northlake Mall in Tucker. The Northlake Mall closure comes with a direct employee message from a spokesperson: "We first communicated directly with our Macy's colleagues at Northlake Mall and are supporting them through the transition, including transfer opportunities where available and severance and support where applicable". That gives affected workers a clearer picture of the immediate options they have inside the company.
March Closures Hit RiverTown Crossings
In March, RiverTown Crossings lost its Macy's at the end of the month, and the location is now permanently closed. Crossroads Center Mall also lost its Macy's anchor store in March, and Macy's opened a liquidation sale there with up to 70% off the lowest ticketed prices. The sequence shows the company is not waiting for 2026 to shrink its footprint; some closures are already in motion.
Maryland, California and New Jersey
78 remaining Macy's stores in California and 28 locations remaining throughout New Jersey show how much of the chain still remains in those markets even after the latest cutbacks. Maryland still has Macy's stores listed in Annapolis, Bethesda, Bowie, Columbia, Frederick, Hyattsville, Towson, Waldorf, Wheaton and White Marsh, while the state has nine Macy's department store locations left after RiverTown Crossings closed. The Mall at Fox Run, first opened in 1983, is slated for demolition to make way for a new commercial redevelopment, another sign that some closures are tied to redevelopment plans rather than only store performance.
14 planned closures, plus the stores already shuttered in March, leave customers and employees dealing with a smaller chain and a faster reset of where Macy's expects demand to live. If the company keeps using Bold New Chapter as written, the practical question for anyone near one of these locations is simple: whether the nearest Macy's is still open, or already part of the cutback.
