A&S sat along "Department Store Row" with other giants of retail that have long since been absorbed by other companies or shut down.

Macy’s is set to close five New York City locations over the next three months as part of its nationwide cutbacks. Of course, Macy’s Herald Square won’t be affected, but the Macy’s department store in Downtown Brooklyn that is beloved by so many longtime Brooklynites will be shuttered.

Macy’s has announced plans to close 66 stores nationwide this year, including nine in the New York City area. Locations in Queens Place Mall, Downtown Brooklyn, and the Bronx’s Fordham Road are among those impacted.
