The Macy's department store chain will open a district office in Attleboro in early May to support about a dozen of its stores, including two in Rhode Island, a company spokesman said today.

The office is one of 49 the company plans as it realigns store operations to better reflect the buying habits of people in regions across the country. The company recently announced it would cut about 7,000 jobs as part of the change.

People slated to lose their jobs as part of those cuts are eligible for the 20 or so jobs at each of the district offices, according to James Sluzewski, the Macy's spokesman. There will be 23 people working at the Attleboro office.

Other Macy's offices in Massachusetts are planned for Boston and Peabody. The company also will open an office in Enfield, Conn.
