Retail giant Carrefour ends its operations in Kuwait, following its recent withdrawal from Bahrain
Macy's Closes Stores in Kuwait, Leaving a Mark on the Retail Sector
In a statement made on Tuesday, Macy's, the American retail giant, announced its decision to close its stores in Kuwait, effective September 16, 2025. The move comes as part of strategic business decisions and has left many wondering about the future of the retail sector in the country.
The announcement comes after Macy's departure from Bahrain and the closing of its stores in Jordan, effective November 2024. The company apologised for any inconvenience caused.
Macy's has been a significant player in the Gulf region, with several of its stores located in major malls in the UAE. The closing of its shops in Kuwait will mark the end of its operations in the country.
The reasons behind Macy's decision to leave Kuwait remain unclear. The company has not provided any specific reasons for the closure of its stores. However, it is worth noting that the UAE's Majid Al Futtaim, the conglomerate that brought Macy's to the Middle East, is likely to replace Macy's with its brand, Target.
The article was written by Meher Dhanjal, a Digital Journalist known for breaking news and finding stories that resonate with readers. Dhanjal expressed gratitude to Macy's for its support over the past decades, acknowledging the impact the company has had on the retail sector in Kuwait.
The closing of Macy's shops in Kuwait may have a significant impact on its employees in the country. It is currently unclear what the future holds for them.
Macy's operates in more than 40 countries, with over 14,000 stores worldwide. The company's departure from Kuwait is a significant loss for the retail sector in the country.
Two related articles have been published in the wake of Macy's announcement. "As Macy's exits Bahrain, UAE's Majid Al Futtaim rolls out Target" and "Macy's 'ceases operations' in Jordan, apologises for 'any inconvenience'". These articles shed light on the impact of Macy's decisions on the retail sector in the Gulf region.
In conclusion, Macy's decision to close its shops in Kuwait is a significant development in the retail sector. The future of the retail sector in Kuwait, as well as the impact on Macy's employees, remains uncertain. As more information becomes available, we will continue to keep you updated.
