Saks Global, owner of luxury retail chains Saks 5th Avenue and Neiman Marcus, has announced the closure of most of its discount outlet stores, Saks Off 5th and Last Call.
The store closures come weeks after Saks Global announced that it was filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Here’s what you need to know about the store closures, including a full list of the locations being shuttered.
What’s happened?
Yesterday, Saks Global said it would close a majority of its discount outlet stores. While Sak Global is best known for its high-end luxury department store chains, Saks 5th Avenue and Neiman Marcus, the company owns several other retailers, including Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Off 5th, Last Call, and Horchow.
The company has now announced that two of these retailers will be hit by store closings.
The first is Saks Off 5th, the company’s outlet store chain, which sells discounted apparel and accessories for shoppers on a budget.
The company also announced that it will close all its Last Call stores. Last Call is the discount outlet chain originally owned by Neiman Marcus, which Saks Global acquired for around $2.7 billion in 2024.
Why are Saks Off 5th and Last Call stores closing?
Saks Global is closing these locations as part of its Chapter 11 bankruptcy process, which the company filed for earlier this month.
The goal of the bankruptcy is “to strengthen the foundation of our business and position it for the future,” Saks Global CEO Geoffroy van Raemdonck stated earlier this month.
Over the past several years, the company now known as Saks Global has become saddled with debt, driven by factors affecting many retailers, including reduced sales, declining foot traffic, increased online competition, and inflationary pressures.
But the company’s debt problems also increased significantly after it acquired competitor Neiman Marcus in 2024.
This week’s announcement of store closures doesn’t come out of the blue. Earlier this month, when Saks Global announced it was filing for bankruptcy, the company said it was “evaluating its operational footprint to invest resources where it has the greatest long-term potential.”
That evaluation has now led to the closure of a majority of its Saks Off 5th and all of its Last Call stores.
Saks Global now says the store closures are the result of “a thorough review of its off-price business.”
Which Last Call stores are closing?
Saks Global has confirmed that all of its remaining Last Call stores will close. This encompasses five locations in three states. Those locations are:
California
- Desert Hills Premium Outlets (Cabazon, CA)
