The Lewiston Macy’s is among more than a dozen stores that will close in early 2020.
According to BusinessInsider.com, Macy’s is closing at least 15 stores nationally this year after it announced 3 years ago it would close 100 stores following six consecutive years of declining sales. Since then, it has been shuttering the locations as their leases expire.
The company did not comment on whether this recent wave of closures was included in the 2016 plan but said that Macy’s “regularly reviews” its store portfolio and will update investors in its upcoming investor day on Feb. 5.
Regular, non-seasonal employees who are laid off and unable to find a job at nearby Macy’s stores would be eligible for severance.
In addition to the Macy’s in the Lewiston Center Mall, other closures include locations in Seattle, Walla Walla, and Burlington.
