A mall retailer now announces an unexpected liquidation sale up to 20% off at a major location outside Washington D.C., source report.
The Macy’s at the Ballston Quarter mall in Arlington, Virginia will shut its doors within weeks, reports The-Sun.
The announcement comes as the iconic retailer prepares to shut locations across the country.
However, the store did not confirm when it would be closing down, but is currently offering liquidation prices of up to 20% off.
Local outlet WTOP reports that the sale will run for “eight to 12 weeks.”
The store’s answering machine clarified that all sales will be final — no returns on the discounted items.
The location will stop receiving returns on previously purchased items on February 20.
Macy’s has struggled to keep its many locations afloat in recent years.
The company’s third-quarter sales were down 7% from the year before, WTOP reported.
Now, it’s closing five stores in the coming weeks.
On top of the Virginia location, two stores in California are shutting down in San Leandro and Simi Valley.
Tallahassee, Florida, and Lihue, Hawaii, are also losing their Macy’s stores.
On top of the five closures, the company has plans to lay off 13% of its corporate staff.
In total, the company will cut a whopping 2,350 jobs.
Macy’s shoppers in Virginia have a few other options to find another Macy’s.
A few miles east, near Pentagon City, Arlington hosts another location, reports The-Sun.
The location, an 11 mile drive from the old spot, is one of a few nearby.
There’s another Macy’s in McLean, and one in Washington DC.

A retailer with 1,049 stores now makes an unexpected closure, shutting a major location in Stafford, Virginia, sources report.
Best Buy is closing a key location in Stafford, Virginia — the tech store first opened in 2008.
Luckily for shoppers, two other Best Buy locations are nearby in Fredericksburg and Woodbridge, reports The-Sun.
They are about 25 minutes and 21 minutes away from the Stafford store, respectively.
The U.S Sun reached out to the Best Buy location and no one answered after repeated tries.
The paper contacted nearby businesses who said the store looked “vacant.”
However, there are currently 31 other Best Buy locations throughout Virginia.
A Best Buy shopper recently made a TikTok criticizing the store’s extended return policy.
The TikToker (@nldoty) was shocked when he was told he only had two weeks to make a return.
“They’ve changed things in a way that I don’t understand how Best Buy thinks this is either both feasible or sustainable,” he told viewers.
“Remember how when you buy something you get a 30-day return window? It breaks, you don’t like it, etc. You can return it within 30 days and get your money back.
“Best Buy has shortened that to two weeks unless you signed up for their paid annual membership – I’m not making this up.”
He explained that if he paid $50 for a year of membership, he would have gotten $30 off of the purchase and an extended return window of 60 days without a receipt.
“Brick-and-mortar stores are now microtransacting the hell out of us,” he added.
Another added: “Retail is dying in front of us.”
