More outlet locations are expected to open in 2011.

NEW YORK -- Macy's Inc. said today it will open its first Bloomingdale's bargain-priced outlet stores this summer and fall -- including one in Virginia -- in a bid to attract value-conscious shoppers.



In an effort to improve its financial performance, Macy's, based in Cincinnati, has been shoring up its results with aggressive cost-cutting, including job cuts, lower capital spending and reduced contributions to employees' retirement funds. Its third-quarter loss narrowed, helped by tight inventory controls and a move to localize merchandise at its department stores by region.

The department store operator said the move to open four such stores is a response to consumers' focus on value.

The outlets will be located at the Dolphin Mall in Miami; Sawgrass Mills in Sunrise, Fla.; Bergen Town Center in Paramus,womens ugg boots, N.J., and Potomac Mills in Woodbridge, Va.
