What: Bloomingdale’s will open its second smaller store concept “Bloomie’s” in the greater Chicagoland area at the end of 2022.

Why it is important: The existing Bloomingdale’s Old Orchard location in Skokie Illinois will close once the Bloomie’s location opens.

The new 50,000-square-foot Bloomie's store will open at Westfield Old Orchard in Skokie, Illinois, and will feature a broad curation of soft home categories. The clearance of the former Bloomingdale’s location will begin clearance on September 6th and is expected to fully close at the end of October.
