Macy's announced a $44 million loss after 3Q, will delay store openings, order less merchandise and layoff more employees.

Yep, retailers clearly are facing a tough fourth quarter and holiday season (especially high-end names on Madison Avenue), but it seems they don't expect the pain to end anytime soon. Macy's this week said it would be trimming next year's capital expenditures from $1 billion to between $550 million and $600 million, in response to the weak economy. It plans to realize savings by delaying store openings, limiting store remodels, reducing expense budgets and ordering less merchandise. Macy's announced a $44 million loss this week in what is certain to be the first of a string of gruesome third-quarter reports for retailers. Macy's top officials are increasingly concerned they won't see the improvements that they had anticipated as recently as a month ago.

  1. More than likely though, plan difficult to get a practice going.
    Keeping a progressive clientele and enough business to a person busy
    is strenuous. For anyone who is feeling really ambitious, I strongly advise you extend your vacation to include a heli-copter
    ride. Personally, I hope there is an area for psychology.
