The Boston Globe reported Thursday that the Macy's department store at Providence Place is for sale. The newspaper reported that a six-person team at Atlantic Capital Partners is handling the listing. A Macy's spokeswoman told the Globe that the Providence Place store will "remain open."

Providence Place Mall’s Macy’s store is up for sale while the chain evaluates the potential real estate value and the potential of future sales growth.

However, the mall's court-appointed receivers could not "definitively confirm [the store's] long-term presence," especially given recent announcements from Macy's corporate.
