Macy’s announced plans to open 30 more stores as it considers its long-term growth strategy in physical retailing. The new locations will open in a format 20% smaller than classic stores. The move could be crucial for Macy’s given the gradual decline in mall traffic.
Plans to launch 30 new stores span the next two years. The company said it is trying to lure shoppers from stagnant malls to bustling suburbs.
