Convenient Shopping Experience

Macy's small-format stores offer an immersive shopping experience, providing both convenience and discovery within a 30,000 to 50,000 square feet box. Located in off-mall shopping centers, the stores offer a curated assortment of Macy's distinctive fashion, on-trend beauty, luxury fragrances, and more. The stores also collaborate with local businesses to create pop-up shops and events that cater to customer preferences.

Shoppers can explore the "Trend Pavilion," where a continuous flow of fashionable trends, must-haves, and new seasonal merchandise are offered to own your style. These stores provide a range of categories, including men's, women's, and kids' fashion, beauty products, toys, luggage, giftable items, and more. Categories feature renowned brands like Polo Ralph Lauren, Levi's, and Calvin Klein, as well as Macy’s private brands, such as INC, Bar III, And Now This, and the latest addition, On 34th.

Macy’s smaller stores feature elevated fitting rooms with larger spaces, lounge areas, full-length mirrors, and selfie moments, creating an inviting atmosphere. The rooms also offer "styling carts" that help customers explore the latest trends from head to toe and provide a seamless and personalized experience.

Customers can enjoy all the benefits of the full-line Macy’s stores, including the 'At Your Service' desk, which helps with bill payments, returns, exchanges, and more. They can also take advantage of 'Buy Online Pickup In-store' and curbside options for items available on Macys.com. Customers can continue to enroll, earn and redeem Star Rewards and they can also use their Macy's credit card at all Macy’s locations.

Sustained Growth for Our Colleagues

In preparation for the opening of the new small-format locations, Macy’s is planning to hire a range of positions for these new locations to enhance the customer shopping experience. As a preferred employer, Macy's is committed to its colleagues' well-being, offering exciting career opportunities, competitive pay, merchandise discounts, flexible scheduling, and access to a new debt-free education program for both part-time and full-time positions. Additionally, Macy's prioritizes internal growth, encouraging purpose-driven career paths that align with colleagues' passions, expand their skills, and drive business success, with stores also serving as a key pipeline for future store leadership roles.
