Columnist puzzled over aggressive NYC department store development
December 21, 2016
Forbes contributor Walter Loeb is worried about department stores — in particular, one of his favorites, Neiman Marcus. Although Saks, Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s, Bergdorf’s and Lord & Taylor can certainly see sales slipping away to e-commerce, they have all initiated major renovation programs in attempts to keep NYC shoppers engaged. Neiman is expected to open a new 250,000 square foot store at Hudson Yards in September of 2018. Writes Mr. Loeb, “it is very likely the store will underperform from the start.”
