Se salvan tiendas de Macy's en Puerto Rico de cerrar...por ahora

La primera semana del año nuevo comenzó con anuncios de cierre en varias cadenas de tiendas por departamento que operan en Puerto Rico, como Macy&#39s.

Inicialmente la cadena había dicho que este año 2017 iba a cerrar hasta 100 tiendas. El gigante de mercancía lleva varios años enfrentando problemas, sobre todo por la competencia de las compras por Internet, con amazon y otras empresas.
