The iconic but struggling US department store Macy's announced plans on Tuesday to close almost a third of its eponymous locations by 2026 while building up its upscale Bloomingdale's and Bluemercury brands.
In a new strategy dubbed a "Bold New Chapter" aimed at breathing new life into the 166-year-old retailer, the company said it would shut 150 "underproductive" Macy's locations.
