Bloomingdale’s is closing a traditional store as it opens its newest concept at a shopping center in Chicagoland.
The upscale department store retailer will open its second “Bloomie’s” location, at Westfield Old Orchard in Skokie, Ill. 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 50,000-sq.-ft. Bloomie’s store will open in a new location at the mall.
Bloomie’s, which opened its first location in August 2021, in Fairfax, Va., is Bloomingdale’s smaller store concept. It is designed to provide a casual, contemporary and highly curated shopping experience. The Old Orchard location will include a broad curation of soft home categories.
