It's an open question whether downtown shopping corridors will recover, considering that working from home could remain an option for many workers even after the pandemic subsides. What's more certain is that yet more malls are destined to falter, even some at the high end … The troubles have ushered in an unprecedented level of cooperation between landlords and their retail tenants, which could provide retailers with flexibility to serve customers in their ideal locations, wherever those may be.

Cronyism and connections have no place in the rollout of this vaccine. If we don’t do this right, the consequences could be quite catastrophic, so it’s really critical that people be hypersensitive to the rules of the game.

Macy’s is committed to rightsizing our store fleet by concentrating our existing retail locations in desirable and well-trafficked A and B malls. To that end, we announced several store closures (Jan. 5) that align to the guidance we provided in February 2020. These closures bring us closer to achieving the right mix of mall-based stores.

Following a continued shakeout among retailers, the future retail landscape will consist of retailers with a solid financial footing, plus those that have shown resilience. Although consumer choice will likely be reduced due to the disappearance of many regional and mom-and-pop stores that provided local flavor, we are optimistic that a healthier retail industry will flourish once again and that new shops will be attracted to emerge and enliven the industry.

Retail has also had a lot of change. [Some companies might be looking to bring in someone] from the outside, with different spirits. Women tend to be socialized to have more empathy, and more collaboration—interpersonal skills that are really important characteristics.

It is critically important those working in our nation’s stores, distribution centers, warehouses and throughout the retail ecosystem are among the early recipients of the COVID-19 vaccine.

We don’t believe this group represents the majority of our employees’ views.
