Sales are in full swing at Macy’s at Sunrise Mall, which is expected to close next month, according to employees.
Throughout Macy’s Men’s, discounts currently range from 20 to 60 percent off most merchandise, including men’s shoes, apparel and household merchandise, with 70 percent off large area rugs.
At Macy’s Women’s, sales range from 20 to 60 percent off with the majority of clothing ranging from 40 to 50 percent off and signs indicating 10 percent off select cosmetics. Several signs indicate all store fixtures and shelving are also on sale, and one employee directed anyone interested to a sign-up list in-store.
Employees said they expected the store to close “soon” to the public, but employees are expecting to work until the end of March. One furniture sales employee said the faster store merchandise sells, the earlier the store will close to the public. Another employee explained that the final date of closure to the public is unknown because things change from week to week, but they expect the store to close sometime in March.
Another employee who works in women’s shoes said merchandise is “moving fast” and he has already cleared out the back storage room of shoe inventory.
Shelves and racks in Macy’s Men’s were noticeably more bare than clothing racks in Macy’s Women’s, with racks of marked-down home and bath merchandise lining the aisles near the entrance to Macy’s Men’s.
The Citrus Heights location is one of several locations in California listed in a Jan. 9 press release, slated to close. Other notable California locations closing include Macy’s stores in Downtown Sacramento, Los Angeles, and San Diego. The closure list includes a note stating that the Sunrise Mall closure includes two boxes within the same location and therefore is counted as one location.
Macy’s shuttering will leave JCPenney as the last remaining major anchor store at Sunrise Mall.
