The “Bold New Chapter” campaign launched about two years ago and was started to “strengthen our stores, simplify how we operate, and invest in the experiences that matter most to our customers,” the letter from CEO Tony Spring said.

Spring said that customers have responded to the changes, especially in the 125 stores that have been reimagined. The company also modernized its supply chain and opened a new fulfillment facility.

The stores that are closing were called “underproductive” and are part of streamlining operations.

Those who worked at the affected locations are being given transfer opportunities as available, or severance and outplacement services as appropriate.

Last Februrary the company said it would close 150 locations through the end of this year, Fast Company reported.

According to the Macy’s website, clearance sales will start at the affected locations this month and will run for about 10 weeks. Closing Macy’s Backstage locations will also start their clearance sales in January, but will run for four weeks.
