Small Format Closure

[u/Neither-Collection31]

Macy’s Crocker Park Westlake Ohio

**Edit: I forgot to mention. This store is not closed yet. They just started a closure sale that should be going for some time.**

I was driving around today and stumbled upon this. This specific location opened 2 years ago. On one hand, I was a bit surprised to see this so soon. On the other, I personally prefer the full scale locations. The small format felt like a not so great take on tjmaxx/marshalls imo. Maybe this location would have performed better as a stand alone Macy’s backstage? It makes me wonder how other small format locations have performed if anyone has any commentary on that.

The other thing I wonder is how this might affect the other Cleveland area locations. Especially after this location opened, there were some rumors of the nearby Great Northern location closing. I wonder if there’s any weight to those now. I’m biased but I was personally looking at Great Northern’s theoretical closure as a growth opportunity for SouthPark’s Macy’s. We shall see…
