ILLINOIS — A new decade has just arrived, and Illinois is set to lose two Macy's stores in the first few months of 2020.

The department store chain is closing at least 28 stores in the next couple months, according to local media reports.

Macy's officials would not confirm how many stores are closing, though, or provide a list of the locations set to shutter.

In August 2016, Macy's said it would close 100 stores. Since that announcement, the retail chain has been closing locations as their leases expire. However, when reached by Business Insider, a Macy's representative did not comment on whether the latest stores were part of its planned closures from 2016.

Macy's is part of a growing list of brick-and-mortar establishments that have seen a nosedive in revenue and popularity with the emergence of e-commerce companies such as Amazon and Walmart.
