Macy’s, a Baltimore region staple, will close 150 stores in turnaround plan

Macy’s, a staple at Baltimore area malls, plans to close 150 department stores in a turnaround plan, the company said Tuesday. The retailer did not announce specific store closures, saying it would target 150 “underproductive locations,” about 30% of its store base. About 50 will close this year. Macy’s operates 14 Maryland stores, including seven in the Baltimore region. Those locations include Annapolis Mall, Security Square Mall, Harford Mall, Mall in Columbia, Marley Station in Glen Burnie, White Marsh Mall and Towson Town Center.
