Macy's said that it is eliminating more than 10,000 jobs and plans to move forward with 68 store closures after a disappointing holiday shopping season. The department store chain also lowered its full-year earnings forecast. Sales at its established stores fell 2.1% in November and December compared to the same period last year. Macy's Inc. pointed to changing consumer behavior and said its performance reflects the challenges that are facing much of the retail industry. Four of the stores are in malls owned or managed by the Chattanooga-based CBL & Associates Properties and will close on March 31. At the Layton Hills, Utah, mall, CBL is finalizing negotiations with a new anchor store, and anticipates the new tenant to open before year-end. The other three stores total 444,000 square feet are currently owned by Macy's and CBL. CBL has agreed to purchase the properties from Macy's for $5 million.
