Macy's Brooklyn Downtown, a historic location with deep roots in the community since 1865, will close its doors as part of the company's effort to streamline operations by shutting down underperforming stores. The Fulton St. site, originally home to Abraham & Straus before being acquired by Macy's in 1995, has left lasting memories for local shoppers. Community members have expressed their sadness over the impending closure, reflecting on the store's historical significance and impact on local jobs. The store was known for innovations like 'live mannequin modeling' that captivated shoppers in the past.
"I can't believe this place is going away," said Vince Ross, reflecting on decades of memories tied to the historic department store.
Glo C. reminisced, "I used to shop here when I was a little girl," expressing her dismay at the store's closure and the job losses it entails.
Macy's is closing underproductive stores as part of our Bold New Chapter strategy, aiming to redirect focus towards more profitable locations.
The Fulton St. Macy's building has been a fixture in Brooklyn for 160 years, originally opened as Wechsler & Abraham in 1865.
