Macy's is planning to close about 125 underperforming stores over the next three years, about a fifth of the company's retail locations.
梅西百貨計劃在未來三年內(nèi)關(guān)閉約125家表現(xiàn)不佳的門店,約占公司零售店的五分之一。
The department store did not specify which locations it would close, other than saying the stores are in "lower-tier" malls and include 30 stores in 19 states that are already in the process of closing.

All this is part of a big transformation Macy's hopes will help boost the company amid an exodus of shoppers from malls and traditional department stores, NPR's Alina Selyukh reports. And the rise of online sales over the past decade have hurt many of the nation's largest and oldest department stores.
