Department store Macy’s-Bloomingdale’s closing five stores and laying off 25-hundred employees in 2014!
Company officials say they need to cut $100-million from the yearly budget! This is strange because they also announced plans to build eight new stores!
The five stores being closed are in Mesa, Arizona, Overland Park, Kansas, Florrisant, Missouri, Irondequoit, New York and Murray, Utah.
