Macy's is closing six locations in Texas, one of those in Houston's Almeda Mall this year as part of its previously announced "A Bold New Chapter" strategy that focuses on closing underperforming stores.

Kohl's has announced the closure of more than two dozen stores across the U.S., including one in Texas. The department store chain said Thursday the 27 underperforming stores will be closed by April. The announcement comes as the Wisconsin-based chain has posted 11 consecutive quarters of sales declines and faces new leadership.
