Macy’s to Cut 95 Jobs in Tennessee

Ninety-five workers will lose their jobs as retail giant Macy’s shutters its location in Bellevue, Tennessee, 19 more than had been expected.

The 95 layoffs will begin March 13th and be complete by March 26th.

In an announcement on January 8th, Macy’s said closing the store would cost 76 jobs. The layoffs include only employees of the Bellevue store, one of 11 under-performing stores set to close nationally.

Nationally, Macy’s sales at stores open at least a year fell 4.5% in January, after dropping 4% in December and 13.3% in November.
