Macy's Retail Holdings will cut 89 jobs at three New Jersey sites as the chain shuts two stores and shifts another. The company filed Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act paperwork for positions in Livingston, Paramus, and Ramsey.

The Paramus and Ramsey notices kick in March 31. Livingston's takes effect April 30.

WARN rules make employers alert workers 60 days before plant shutdowns and big layoffs happen. Workers, their families, and towns get this protection.

These shutdowns belong to a 14-store pullback happening nationwide, which Axios broke first and USA Today backed up later.

The Livingston Mall site will close soon, though the website doesn't name an exact date. "Macy's Livingston is closing," reads a message on the store's page, per Patch.com.

Interstate Shopping Center in Ramsey shows the same shutdown notice. The Rt. 4 Furniture and Mattress Gallery in Paramus won't disappear but will shift operations to the Paramus Park site instead.

The chain keeps shrinking with this newest batch of cuts. This round hits 12 states.

New Jersey's 2026 archive shows all three sites got official state WARN notices. This gives workers a chance to prepare and hunt for new jobs.
