1st Macy’s Backstage on the island opens at Plaza Las Américas
Plaza Las Américas and Macy’s Backstage announced the upcoming opening of the first Macy’s Backstage store in Puerto Rico, on Nov. 20, in time for the busy holiday shopping season.
Macy’s on-mall, off-price pop-up store will be located on the second level of the space previously occupied by Borders and will have approximately 14,000 square feet. The related investment to open the new store was undisclosed. The store will create 32 new jobs.
Macy’s Backstage is an off-price concept that offers fashion-loving customers another way to shop their favorite brands at significant savings by delivering a constantly changing assortment of on-trend merchandise and encouraging customers to return to find new treasures.
