Employees who work at stores that are closing will be offered positions at nearby stores "where possible," Macy's says, and eligible part- and full-time employees will receive severance benefits.
Macy’s stated that the closures are necessary in order to save more money, reinvest it in e-commerce and give a smaller number of stores a better customer experience.
