New York City — Bloomingdale’s will open its second “Bloomie’s” store location in the greater Chicagoland area at the end of 2022. Bloomie’s, which opened its first location in Fairfax, Va., in 2021, is the retailer’s smaller store concept that provides a casual, contemporary and highly curated experience.
“We’re excited to be opening our second ‘Bloomie’s’ location,” says Charles Anderson, director of stores, Bloomingdale’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. We’re looking forward to sharing the ‘Bloomie’s’ experience with our loyal North Shore clientele and new customers alike.”
The 50,000-square-foot store will open in a new location at Westfield Old Orchard in Skokie, Ill., and will add a broad and meaningful curation of soft home categories. The existing Bloomingdale’s Old Orchard location will close later this year upon Bloomie’s opening. It will begin clearance on September 6, and its closing is expected to take place at the end of October.
Bloomingdale’s is America’s only nationwide, full-line, upscale department store and a division of Macy’s, Inc. It was founded in 1872 and currently operates 33 Bloomingdale’s stores and 20 Bloomingdale’s, The Outlet Stores, in California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia, along with one Bloomie’s location in Virginia.
