Cars sit parked in front of a Macy's store at Bay Fair Mall on February 27, 2024 in San Leandro, California.
Arkhouse Management, a real-estate-focused investing firm said on Sunday it and Brigade Capital Management have raised their offer for Macy's after the department store chain rebuffed their prior proposal as too low.
"The Macy's Inc Board will carefully review and evaluate the latest proposal," Macy's said in a separate statement.
Like other legacy department store operators, Macy's has struggled to compete against younger, online competitors or peers with smaller brick-and-mortar footprints.
This has given Arkhouse and Brigade an opening to put pressure on Macy's to explore a sale.
