| Dayton loses both its Macy's stores. |
Uh... my hometown.
Macy's is sputtering down. It appears that locations in Dayton are no more.
In early 2025, Macy's announced it was closing the Mall at Fairfield Commons location. Now as of late-2025, Macy's will officially closes it location at the Dayton Mall.
Dayton, Ohio has no more Macy's department stores.
By 2026, Macy's says it will shut down 150 "underproductive" locations while prioritizing investments in 350 remaining stores. It says it will also close 50 stores by the end of 2024.
"We are making the necessary moves to reinvigorate relationships with our customers through improved shopping experiences, relevant assortments and compelling value," said Tony Spring, Macy’s CEO, in a statement. Spring, who has worked nearly 40 years as a Bloomingdale's executive, assumed the role just a few weeks ago.
Despite the shuttered Macy's locations, the company, Macy's, Inc., says it also wants to expand its Bloomingdale’s and Bluemercury stores by 45 locations altogether.
"Our teams are energized by the work ahead as we accelerate our path to market share gains, sustainable, profitable growth and value creation for our shareholders," said Spring.
The company has yet to specify which 150 locations will close.
The last major restructuring at Macy’s occurred in February 2020, when the company announced it would cut 2,000 corporate jobs and 125 stores over the next three years.
The company's headquarters in downtown Cincinnati at 7 W. Seventh Street closed at that time, two years after it shuttered the flagship store at Fountain Place. Macy's consolidated its headquarters in New York City.
The departure of Macy's headquarters in February 2020 was joined by a handful of other store closures in Greater Cincinnati, namely its Northgate Mall store in January 2020 and the Tri-County Mall location the following year.
