When a struggling department store closes underperforming locations and doubles down on what made it iconic in the first place, is that the formula for a retail comeback? Macy's strategic shift this year might just prove that focusing on core strengths beats endless expansion every time.

Anne breaks down why Macy's wins Best Strategic Move from a Struggling Retailer, highlighting their closure of small-format stores and renewed focus on what makes Macy's distinctly Macy's. With Emily Erusha-Hilleque (SVP of Private Brands and recent OmniStar winner) leading the charge, Macy's is eliminating waste, tightening operations, and giving shoppers actual reasons to return to their core stores rather than diluting the brand across too many locations.
