Two nostalgic yet beleaguered Bay Area Macy's locations, along with dozens of others throughout the country, are slated to close.

Macy’s and Kohl’s are preparing to shut down Bay Area department stores — and slash jobs — an ominous indicator that some retailers must navigate a forbidding economic landscape in 2025. Kohl’s has posted plans to shut stores in five Bay Area cities while Macy’s has revealed its decision to shut two stores in the nine-county region.

The New York City-based Macy’s will be closing 66 stores across nearly two dozen states as part of its “Bold New Chapter” strategy, describing the soon-to-be-closed locations as “non-go-forward” locations.
