Some Florida retailers did not had the finest year in 2024. I covered the loss of several Big Lots stores in Florida, along with American Freight and LL Flooring, to mention a few. Additionally, Florida will lose a few Macy’s locations as part of the company’s larger strategy to reduce its workload.
Macy’s Previous Announcement That It Would Close Some Stores: As part of a “bold new chapter” for the firm, Macy’s announced in early 2024 that it would be closing 150 “unproductive” stores. It would be able to concentrate on stores that were performing better as a result.
The Eight Closing Stores in Florida:The eight stores that were scheduled to close in Florida are listed here. Out of the 41 Macy’s stores that are still open in Florida, two have already closed, leaving six. A Macy’s Backstage is located in one of the stores, while others are mall anchors and Macy’s Furniture Galleries.
- Altamonte Springs Furniture: 820 West Town Parkway (a furniture gallery)
- Boca Raton Furniture: 9339 Glades Rd (already closed)
- Boynton Beach: Boynton Beach Mall, 801 N Congress Ave (mall anchor)
- Fort Lauderdale Furniture: 4501 N. Federal Highway (a furniture gallery)
- Pembroke Pines Furniture: 13640 Pines Blvd. (a furniture gallery)
- Sarasota: Westfield Siesta Key, former Southgate Mall, 3501 S Tamiami Trail (a mall anchor)
- South Dade Furniture: 13251 South Dixie Highway (already closed)
- Tampa: West Shore Plaza, 298 Westshore Plaza (a Macy’s Backstage)
The Clearance Sales Are Coming: Traditional full-line and small-format businesses will start having sales in January, which will run for eight to twelve weeks. This information may be of interest to those who want to visit these stores before they close to obtain some products on sale.
Additionally, the sales for the furniture galleries mentioned above start in February and run for around six weeks.
However, it is crucial to remember that Macy’s will only accept returns during certain hours. For instance, except for Backstage and Furniture Galleries, where returns are accepted for purchases made before February 3rd, products purchased on or after January 13th cannot be exchanged or returned at a closed store.
