Macy’s plans a new discount store at Alderwood mall

The business will feature a store-within-a store format.

LYNNWOOD — Macy’s will open an off-price retail store inside the Macy’s store at Alderwood mall in June.

The store-within-a store format, Macy’s Backstage, will claim about 15,000 square feet of space inside the Lynnwood department store, the retailer said.

Backstage, opening June 16, will offer clothing and accessories for men, women and children and household items that aren’t available inside its traditional stores at 20 to 80 percent off department store prices, the retailer said.

A second Backstage outlet also is scheduled to open June 16 in in Tukwila’s Westfield Southcenter mall.

The two new outlets will be the first Backstage locations in Washington.

Macy’s operates more than 60 Backstage outlets, some free-standing and others as a store within a store.

In total, the retailer has about 670 locations in the United States and its territories, along with an e-commerce site.
