DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN (PIX11) -- It's the end of a nearly three-decade run for Macy's in Downtown Brooklyn this weekend.
The store will close its doors for good at its Fulton Street location on Sunday, according to a postered notice.
Macy's took over the historic building in 1995 after it originally housed the first Abraham & Straus department store, also known as A&S.
The Downtown Brooklyn Macy's was one of 66 locations nationwide deemed “underproductive” and set to close in the first quarter of 2025.
“Closing any store is never easy, but as part of our Bold New Chapter strategy, we are closing underproductive Macy’s stores to allow us to focus our resources and prioritize investments in our go-forward stores,” said Tony Spring, chairman and chief executive officer of Macy’s, Inc.
Macy's closed a total of five stores across NYC but retained locations in Herald Square, Marine Park, Rego Park, Flushing and Staten Island.
The department store is one of many retailers to close multiple locations in 2025 alongside other companies like Forever 21, Dollar General, Joann Inc and Party City.
Below is a list of Macy's stores closing throughout New York City.
