ELK GROVE, CA (MPG) - The new Elk Grove Macy’s opened with a ribbon-cutting Aug. 23 in the Laguna Crossroads shopping center at Laguna Boulevard and Bruceville Road.

While the Elk Grove Chamber of Commerce staged the ribbon-cutting, early visitors browsed the store the day before its grand opening. The 31,000-square-foot store offers scaled-down departments for men’s and women’s clothing and shoes, children’s wear and toys. 

The space, formerly the home of Buy Buy Baby, is the fourth of the new, smaller Macy’s but the first in the area. The store offers well-known market brands and Macy’s private brands in a boutique format. The company calls the smaller stores “highly curated,” which translates to smaller and more trendy selections of merchandise.

“These stores optimize our physical store footprint and bring us closer to existing and desired customers while encouraging more frequent visits,” said Marc Mastronardi, chief stores officer at Macy’s. 

Other Macy’s locations in the area include Stockton, downtown Sacramento, Arden Fair, Citrus Heights and Roseville.

Macy’s Elk Grove, at 7621 Laguna Blvd., is open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Tuesday-Thursday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday-Saturday and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday.
