You'd never know it by shopping at Macy's in the Empire Mall on any given Saturday, but the company has "underperforming" stores. Macy's is one of the busiest stores in the Mall. Hopefully, the corporate office will that take into consideration.

Macy's plans to close 35 to 40 underperforming stores in early 2016.  That's 5% of it's total locations. The exact stores have not been announced yet and will be identified at a later date.

Macy's has closed 52 stores over the past 5 years and opened 12 new stores.  CEO Terry Lundgren said the change comes as shoppers alter their habits, buying more merchandise online.
