Along with the location of the store closings, the list also provides the size of the building (in square feet) and the number of associates that are currently employed there.

According to CBS News, Macy’s announced on Wednesday that they would be going forward with the store closings after sub-par holiday sales. They plan to close 100 stores, with 68 of them being closed by mid-2017. By making this move, the company says, they will save $550 million annually.
