Macy’s plans to close its furniture outlet store at 701 NE. Industrial Blvd. and won’t be opening

another one any time soon, according to a report Monday in the Star Tribune.

The paper reported that New York-based Macy’s will instead sell some discounted furniture at its Furniture Gallery stores in Edina and Roseville – sites of former Marshall Field’s Home Stores and at the downtown Minneapolis Macy’s store, the paper quoted spokeswoman Jennifer McNamara as saying .
In November, it was announced that Macy’s distribution center at the same location would also also close; that will happen as soon as remaining furniture inventory is sold, laying off the 80 workers employed there, the paper said. In addition to the the Minneapolis distribution center, Macy’s plans to close centers in Kansas City and Warren, Michigan.
