You know, we were just talking about the increase in foot traffic in malls a little bit earlier.

I had a chance to catch up with the CEO of Macy's, Tony Spring, to talk about the increase in foot traffic specifically in department stores and obviously specifically in the big brands that he manages, including Macy's and Bloomingdale's and his big turnaround strategy to lessen the overall footprint of some of those stores.

A leaner, leaner organization.

Take a listen to what he had to say.

a big part of your strategy this bold new chapter is also to shrink the footprint of macy's at its peak you guys had what seven to eight hundred stores you're um less than what 400 now around 400 around 400 today uh and the plan is to go down to roughly about 350. you've done a big remodel of some of the existing stores already uh 125. how much further does that go in 2026

News.

Yes.

Good morning, Roman.

Welcome in Bloomingdale's.

Yeah.

Oh, we've been working like for a year and a half to build this partnership and to make that happen.

Such a special moment, this holiday moment, this window unveil.

It's really a big deal for Bloomingdale's and always a great moment for all our ecosystem and all our stakeholders.

That's very right.
