Fueled by the growth of Macy’s Backstage in nearly 300 stores nationwide, the retailer said it accelerated its off-mall, small format expansion last year with two new free-standing Backstage locations in Dallas and three Market by Macy’s locations in Dallas and Atlanta. Macy’s also said it continues to shift its store fleet to meet the needs of changing consumer behaviors and plans to open additional off-mall locations throughout 2022.
“Macy’s Backstage inspires customers to express their personal style through its offerings of quality merchandise and brands at great prices, which is why we look forward to bringing Macy’s Backstage into more of our local communities,” said Michael Hersh, Macy’s VP of off-price. “We are especially excited to bring Backstage to our downtown stores in Chicago and New York City as the brand expands nationwide.”
In preparation for this year’s expansion, Macy’s also noted that it will hire a range of positions that will offer competitive pay, a bilingual work environment, merchandise discount, flexible scheduling, and access to a new debt-free education program for part-time and full-time colleagues.
