Macy’s is not the only retailer to announce store closures to start the year. Kohl’s is also closing 27 stores by April, The Associated Press reported. The stores are located in 15 states and is only about 2.3% of the company’s 1,150 locations.

The closures are part of Macy's "Bold New Chapter" strategy, which was announced in February 2024. The reorganization, the company revealed at the time, involved closing 150 stores nationwide within three years and a pivot to a greater focus on luxury sales.

The move is part of the department store chain’s plan to shutter 150 underperforming locations by the end of 2026.

The company did not say when the Kingston Macy's would close, and a manager at the location said staff had not been given a closure date, but declined further comment.
