New York City’s beloved Macy’s will always be an icon worthy of protecting, but unfortunately, some of the department store’s other, less historic locations have to get the ax.
On Thursday, Macy’s Inc. confirmed it’d be shuttering 66 locations across the U.S., including nine in New York State and five in NYC.

“Closing any store is never easy, but as part of our Bold New Chapter strategy, we are closing underproductive Macy’s stores to allow us to focus our resources and prioritize investments in our go–forward stores, where customers are already responding positively to better product offerings and elevated service,” said Tony Spring, chairman and chief executive officer of Macy’s Inc., in a statement.
Which New York Macy’s locations are closing?
The Queens Place Macy’s in Elmhurst, the Macy’s in Brooklyn’s Sheepshead Bay and on Fulton Street, the Staten Island Furniture location and at Fordham Place in the Bronx; Lake Success in New Hyde Park, Melville Mall in Huntington and Sunrise Mall in Massapequa on Long Island; and the location at the Mall at Greece Ridge in Rochester will be closing.

Macy’s says the closure plan is meant to bring back sustainable and profitable sales growth by losing approximately 150 underproductive stores across a three-year period while investing in its “350 go-forward Macy’s locations” through fiscal 2026. You can read more about the strategy here.
It looks like New Yorkers far and wide will now be relegated to shopping at Macys online. Let’s hope the Herald Square Macy’s lives on forever.
