Center City Macy's Closing (www.msn.com)
submitted 1 month ago by Subtracty@lemmy.world to c/philadelphia@lemmy.world
0 comments fedilink
 
 

Macy's announced to employees it is closing its Philadelphia store in Center City, which has been open since 2006. The location is expected to close sometime in March, one of 65 Macy's locations that will be closing as part of a cost-savings initiative. The planned closure leaves the future of the historically important Wanamaker organ and beloved traditions like the holiday light show and Dickens Village in doubt. The interior of the Wanamaker Building holds rare protections from the Philadelphia Historical Commission.
