The City of Citrus Heights acknowledges the announcement of Macy’s decision to close its two stores at Sunrise Mall as part of the company’s plan to shutter several stores nationwide. This is not an isolated event but a reflection of the evolving retail landscape, which is influencing major retailers across the country, including Macy’s decision to close its flagship store in downtown Sacramento.
While this news marks a change for Sunrise Mall, it also reinforces the importance of our community’s commitment to adapting and thriving in the face of retail industry shifts. The City of Citrus Heights is dedicated to supporting local businesses and investing in the future through transformative projects like the Sunrise Tomorrow Specific Plan, which will reimagine Sunrise Mall as a regional destination for retail, dining, entertainment, and mixed-use opportunities.
Mayor Dr. Jayna Karpinski-Costa highlighted the City’s forward-thinking approach: “The closure of Macy’s at Sunrise Mall marks a new chapter for our community. While changes in the retail landscape present challenges, they also open the door to fresh opportunities. Through the Sunrise Tomorrow Specific Plan, we are creating a bold vision for a vibrant destination that will bring new life to this area. Citrus Heights remains committed to innovation, resilience, and fostering an environment where businesses and residents thrive.”
We encourage residents and visitors alike to shop locally and explore the many thriving businesses in the Sunrise Marketplace area. By supporting these businesses, we help ensure the continued vitality of our local economy and position Citrus Heights for a bright future.
