Bloomingdale’s is closing a traditional store as it opens its newest concept at a shopping centre in Chicagoland.
The upscale department store retailer will open its second “Bloomie’s” location, at Westfield Old Orchard in Skokie, Illinois. The existing Bloomingdale’s store at Old Orchard will close upon the opening of Bloomie’s, which is expected to take place at the end of October. The 50,000sq ft Bloomie’s store will open in a new location at the mall.
“We’re excited to be opening our second “Bloomie’s” location,” stated Charles Anderson, Director of Stores, Bloomingdale’s, a division of Macy’s. “The new concept remains authentic to the Bloomingdale’s brand yet reinterprets it on a smaller scale that is infused with energy and ripe for discovery.”
