Macy’s plans new store in Puerto Rico

CINCINNATI— Macy’s plans to open its second store in Puerto Rico in fall 2015.

The two-level, 150,000-sq.-ft. store will be located in the Plaza Del Caribe mall in Ponce. Construction is slated to begin next year and the store is expected to employ 275 associates.

“We look forward to the opportunity to serve the large and dynamic market in southern, central and western Puerto Rico with the distinctive fashion, great value and exciting shopping experience for which Macy’s is well known,” said Peter Sachse, Macy’s chief stores officer.

Macy’s opened its first Puerto Rico store in San Juan in 2000.
