The last Robinsons-May stores in Southern California will close (or be "rebranded" as Macy's) after Christmas and the name will disappear. Robinsons and The May Company were on the Los Angeles scene as separate department stores for about a century. Closure of fifteen merged stores will leave gaping holes in a bunch of shopping malls, including Del Amo Fashion Center, Northridge Fashion Center and Santa Monica Place. In addition, seven Macy's are getting the axe. The Times has the locations that Federated Department Stores says will close:
