To see them in action, they’ll have some cute pups up for adoption at Frisco’s Stonebriar Mall on the lower level on March 8 from 1-5 pm.

Neiman Marcus downtown Dallas
After more than a century as the bedrock of downtown Dallas, luxury retailer Neiman Marcus will close its location at 1618 Main St. on March 31.

Reservations at the Zodiac Room, the store's iconic in-house cafe, are completely sold out — but no shopping fanatic should let the month go by without making a final pilgrimage to the original store and riding the beautiful brass elevator one last time.

The shop is a treasure trove of ceramics, housewares, gifts, vintage pieces, and unique artworks sourced during the team’s extensive travels. There's also a flow of fresh finds—from sculptures, prints, paintings, and photography to shimmering, metallic ribbed socks from Italy.

Department store news

Neiman Marcus owner files bankruptcy, leaving Dallas stores' fate unclear

Neiman Marcus

The fate of the Neiman Marcus flagship in downtown Dallas is up in the air.

The fate of stores operated by Saks Global, parent company of the Dallas-based Neiman Marcus luxury retail chain, is up in the air following its bankruptcy filing on January 13 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Houston.

For the time being, all of the roughly 160 stores under the Saks Global umbrella, including Neiman Marcus’ 36 locations, will remain open. Seven of Neiman Marcus’ stores are in Texas, including four in Dallas-Fort Worth.

The more than $2 billion in debt that Saks Global amassed to acquire Neiman Marcus in 2024 helped push the company into bankruptcy court. According to The Wall Street Journal, Saks Global is the highest-profile department store chain to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy since the pandemic.

As part of its Chapter 11 bankruptcy case, announced in a news release January 14, Saks Global has secured about $1.75 billion in financing to keep the company afloat and its stores open. A bankruptcy judge must approve the financing package.

In announcing the bankruptcy, Saks Global says it’s evaluating its store lineup “to invest resources where it has the greatest long-term potential. This approach reflects an effort to focus the business in areas where [our] luxury retail brands are best positioned for sustainable growth.”

Chapter 11 bankruptcy allows a business to reorganize its finances and operations. For retailers, the process can include cost-cutting moves such as closing poorly performing stores.

Effectively immediately, Geoffroy van Raemdonck has taken over the CEO role at Saks Global — following the recent departures of CEO Marc Metrick and his short-time successor, Richard Baker. Van Raemdonck, who relocated in 2023 from Dallas to New York City, was CEO of Neiman Marcus before Saks Global bought it in 2024 for $2.7 billion.

“This is a defining moment for Saks Global, and the path ahead presents a meaningful opportunity to strengthen the foundation of our business and position it for the future,” van Raemdonck says in a press release. “I look forward to serving as CEO and continuing to transform the [company] so that Saks Global continues to play a central role in shaping the future of luxury retail.”

The most notable DFW location of Neiman Marcus is the chain’s 129,000-square-foot flagship store in downtown Dallas, which the retailer owns.

Saks Global said last February that it would close the iconic store, which debuted in 1914, on March 31, 2025. But days before the scheduled closure, Saks reversed course and decided to keep the store open — at least temporarily rescuing two of the flagship’s signature features, the upscale Zodiac Room restaurant and the elegant Bridal Salon.

Here’s a list of Neiman Marcus’ seven locations in Texas:

Flagship store in downtown Dallas.
NorthPark Center in North Dallas (slated to undergo a $100 million renovation).
Shops at Clearfork in Southwest Fort Worth.
Shops at Willow Bend in Plano (scheduled to close in January 2027).
Galleria in Houston’s Uptown District.
Domain Northside in North Austin.
Shops at La Cantera in Northwest San Antonio.

The retailer’s lower-price sister, Neiman Marcus Last Call, closed most of its locations in 2020 and 2021, but five remain open. They include stores at Grapevine Mills in Dallas-Fort Worth and San Marcos Premium Outlets in the Austin metro area.

In Texas, high-end retailer Saks Fifth Avenue operates one traditional store at The Galleria in Houston and another at North Star Mall in North San Antonio, along with one appointment-only store at Fort Worth’s Bowie House and another at Austin’s Commodore Perry Estate. Across the country, Saks Fifth Avenue operates about 50 traditional and appointment-only stores.

Saks’ lower-price sister, Saks Off 5th, announced in November that it was shuttering nine locations, including its store at Gateway Shopping Center in Northwest Austin. The closures will bring the brand’s store count to 70.
