Corporate Tracker report for @Macy's : Macy's faces a challenging retail landscape, with declining sales and fierce competition from e-commerce giants and discount retailers. Despite strong brand recognition and growth in luxury segments like Bloomingdale's and Bluemercury, the company grapples with inventory management issues and a high dependency on traditional retail formats. However, opportunities exist in expanding e-commerce capabilities, catering to growing demand for sustainable products, and enhancing customer engagement through loyalty programs. Macy's is also exploring new store formats to attract urban shoppers. The company must navigate economic uncertainties, evolving consumer behaviors, and supply chain disruptions while leveraging its strengths in brand heritage and diverse product range to remain competitive in a rapidly changing retail environment.

Not all brands are created equal. Recent retail news included a mixed bag of headlines and store closures while brands like Target, Whole Foods Market, H-E-B, Costco Wholesale, and Nordstrom Rack have big plans for expansion in the coming years. According to SRS' Karla Smith, who represents national retail anchors in new store site selection and disposition, "Retailers that are able to adapt to changing consumer demands and new development strategies will thrive. Target is a great example of a retailer meeting consumers where they are and adapting to stay relevant, exciting and convenient. Shoppers are looking for something different and there is a heightened awareness of accessibility, health and wellness that is not going away anytime soon.” Click the ICSC article for more insights and retailer news ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dMz7r-J6 #RetailOpenings #TenantRep #TargetStores #RetailNews #CRENews #StoreOpenings #StoreClosings

As retailers update the market, we're getting a clearer picture of what’s going on with the US consumer. The good news is that reports of the demise of the American shopper have been greatly exaggerated. Target’s growth is a further proof point that while consumers remain constrained and cautious, they are not in full recession mode. As a retailer that is skewed towards discretionary purchases, Target is a more important signaler than Walmart in this regard. However, to get better numbers Target discounted more and sharpened its prices. This includes during the promotion-driven Circle Week, which was an important driver of sales during the quarter. Target also has a more favorable position than many in the middle market, if only because of its more value-oriented stance and its essentials offering which still generates footfall. Go beyond Target to a retailer like Macy’s and you find much softer results. More of the offer is discretionary and the value position is much weaker – especially in stores that Macy’s has not invested in. Essentially, the market is polarizing. The delineation between winners and losers is becoming sharper. The consumer is spending, but they are thinking deeply about the value they get for parting with their dollars. And, generally speaking, retailers with those weaker value propositions are the ones losing out. I chatted with The New York Times about this.

It is disheartening to hear that Macy's may be facing challenges. However, the reality is that retailers must adapt to the preferences of the new generation of consumers. Change is necessary, whether or not digitalization is the future. It is crucial for retailers to embrace the new consumer while staying connected with the existing one. Resisting change can jeopardize the current consumer base, as consumer behavior evolves over time. Retailers must find a balance and devise methods to retain old consumers and attract new ones. Leveraging technology to optimize in-store space and SKU is essential for cost-cutting and catering to new consumer needs. Shortening store size and redesigning retail spaces, using in-store SKU management systems to predict and optimize in-shop SKU, should be top priorities. Embracing and accepting new technology is the next step in revolutionizing the retail experience.

Macy's could be next on the retail chopping block. We have seen this before. Decisions made by investors that have real-estate goals vs. retail goals puts the customer last. Hudson's Bay Company and Saks are getting further away from their customers because they have real-estate moguls telling them how to run retail. Store closures are always part of the plan and sadly Macy's may be next. A potential buyout could drive Macy’s to its demise. There is no benefit here except for an influx of cash for the retailer. Macy’s has a chance but it needs to put the customer first. The future customer. Which means a greater understanding of Gen Z and their spending power. Macy’s hasn’t been on top of their game in quite some time and lost its lustre. The parade and holiday windows are just not going to cut it. They have a chance with the new push for small format stores with a localized and curated product assortment. The new private label is data-driven and should stay but what is going to drive the younger customer into the stores? Increasing footfall across existing AND new customers should be a priority. The only way for any retailer, including Macy’s, to stay relevant is to build a relationship with their evolving and emerging customers. Macy’s focus is their existing aging customer but they can’t alienate the younger shoppers. They are the future.
