Massive Retailer to Shut Down Another Massachusetts Location

Massachusetts shoppers continue to see their retail options dwindle as more brick-and-mortar stores are closing. Businesses like Stop and Shop, Big Lots, and Walgreens, all plan to cut the fat and shut down underperforming locations. Some retailers like Christmas Tree Shops have exited the brick-and-mortar game altogether by closing all physical stores. It's a sign of the times as shopping trends have drastically changed over the past few years.

Another retailer that has been struggling is Macy's. It was revealed earlier this year that Macy's would close 50 locations by the end of this year with an additional 100 closing in the future. The massive closures are due to shoppers looking for lower costs and better deals at retailers like Walmart and other discount stores. Now it's been reported by several media outlets that Macy's will close its Kingston location in the Kingston Collection Mall in early 2025.

Earlier this year Macy's closed its store in the Swansea Mall. I remember when Macy's had a Lanesborough location inside the Berkshire Mall that I would shop at on occasion. That hat location along with the mall itself has been closed for several years. The only exception in this case is the sole anchor store Target is still open.

Not including the Kingston store, Macy's still has 15 Massachusetts locations including the following:
