More than 200 Macy's employees in Metro Detroit to lose jobs from store closings
(CBS DETROIT) - Over 200 Macy's employees will lose their jobs as a result of the retailer closing its department stores in Sterling Heights and Troy.
That information was found in the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notifications (WARN) notices that Macy's filed with the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity. The affected jobs include general and specialty sales, asset protection and managerial roles.
The date for the permanent layoffs at both locations is listed in state reports as March 18.
The Sterling Heights store is at 14200 Lakeside Circle in Lakeside Mall. There will be 117 jobs impacted there, according to state records.
The Troy store is at 500 West 14 Mile Road in Oakland Mall. There wil be 92 jobs impacted there.
The WARN act requires companies going through mass layoffs and / or site closures to issue advance public notice to the state's labor department, should that step meet certain requirements for the size of company or number of people involved.
The Macy's corporate office previously reported the Troy, Sterling Heights, Traverse City and Flint locations as among over 60 locations that will close this year. The Macy's store in Toledo, Ohio, also is on the list. Most of the closings were expected to take place during Q1.
In the meantime, the company plans to invest in "its 350 go-forward Macy's locations" through fiscal year 2026.

Tesla Cybertrucks are piling up in a disused parking lot in Michigan as the company deals with a stockpile of unsold vehicles
Tesla is under scrutiny for storing Cybertrucks in a disused parking lot of a Detroit shopping center, which officials say violates local zoning rules. Tesla has been dealing with disappointing sales and multiple recalls of the Cybertruck, reportedly leaving the EV maker with a stockpile of excess inventory. Tesla has also cut back production of the trucks, reassigning workers to more popular production lines. Tesla is facing backlash from local authorities in Michigan for storing Cybertrucks and other unsold vehicles in the parking lot of a shuttered shopping center under renovation, a move that officials say violates local zoning laws. Over the past few weeks, dozens of Tesla vehicles have been spotted piling up at the Hunter's Square shopping center on Orchard Lake Road in Michigan, close to a Tesla service center in West Bloomfield. Clips of the parked EVs, totaling more than 100, have been circulating on social media. Tesla's new showroom nearby is suspected to be the source of the overflow. While Tesla employees coming to collect the parked vehicles told CBS Detroit that the nearby service center's owner owns the shopping center and the cars were marked for delivery, local officials have taken issue with the dealership's storage plans. Representatives for the Farmington Hills planning and community development department did not reply to Fortune's request for comment by press time. However, the city's director for the department, Charmaine Kettler-Schmult, told CBS Detroit: 'The City of Farmington Hills code enforcement office has been in communication with the Hunter's Square shopping center management to resolve the issue. They have been notified that storage of vehicles is not a permitted use. The enforcement process is being followed and takes time.' The Cybertruck has had a relatively poor sales performance so far, reportedly leaving Tesla with a stockpile of unsold vehicles. In 2024, the EV maker sold just shy of 40,000 Cybertrucks, missing Wall Street expectations by around 10,000 units. Tesla CEO Elon Musk had previously projected that Cybertruck sales could reach 250,000 units per year. In the first quarter of this year, Tesla sold just over 6,000 Cybertrucks, indicating the EV maker might be facing a weaker year ahead, according to Cox Automotive. In total, Tesla has delivered less than 50,000 Cybertrucks. The underwhelming sales have reportedly led to massive inventory stockpiles, estimated to have reached a record high of 10,000 units last month, according to Electrek. Tesla is rolling back production on the trucks in response. Employees told Business Insider the company first started moving some workers off Cybertruck production in December, reallocating some to the more popular Model Y production lines. The truck and other Tesla vehicles have also become a lightning rod for backlash against the company's CEO. Tesla is facing global protests over Musk's political leanings and role in the Trump administration. The Cybertruck has also been hit with eight recalls since deliveries began in late 2023. The issues ranged from trim panels potentially falling off while driving to windshield wiper failures and a delayed rear camera feed. The latest issue, due to a potential problem with a stainless-steel trim panel detaching while driving, affected nearly 46,000 vehicles, or almost every Cybertruck Tesla had managed to sell at the time. Representatives for Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fortune, made outside the company's normal working hours. This story was originally featured on

New Wanamaker Building owner to convert office space into hundreds of apartments
The Wanamaker Building's new owner plans to convert office space in the high-rise into hundreds of apartments and open up other areas for public use. Why it matters: The transformation of the historic Center City building is the latest big shakeup to Philly's largest business hub. Driving the news: New York-based developer TF Cornerstone expects to begin construction on the anticipated two-year project early next year, it said in a news release. Context: The firm scooped up the building's fourth through 12th floors and its underground parking garage on Tuesday in a foreclosure auction. It's now the building's sole owner. The developer already owned the first three floors, which were previously filled by Macy's before the retailer left earlier this year. 🛠️ What's new: Floors 6-12 will house approximately 600 loft-style apartments, each with a minimum ceiling height of 16 feet. Amenities are TBD. Floor 3: To-be-determined cultural uses. Ground and second floor: Retail. 🎹 1 cool thing: The building's Grand Court — which includes the Wanamaker Organ — will be restored and remain open to the public. Worth noting: The Friends of the Wanamaker Organ are continuing their restoration efforts and will likely hold public performances leading up to the construction, Ray Biswanger, executive director of the group, tells Axios.
