What: Bloomie’s, the scaled-down format of Bloomingdale’s, plans to open a third unit later this year, north of downtown Seattle.
Why it is important: The decision reflects confidence in the fledging Bloomie’s concept, which was introduced in 2021 with the opening of a 22,000-square-foot site in the Mosaic District lifestyle centre in Fairfax, Virginia. The second Bloomie’s, a 51,000-square-foot unit, opened in October in the Westfield Old Orchard Mall in Skokie, Illinois.
By opening a Bloomie's in the Seattle area, the department store also fills a big geographic void in its national footprint.
