Saks Fifth Avenue Opens New Store In Former Beverly Hills Barneys

BEVERLY HILLS, CA — Saks Fifth Avenue on Thursday will open a new store on Wilshire Boulevard in the six-level space that formerly housed Barneys New York.

Saks says the opening represents a reinvention of its West Coast flagship shopping experience. Its women's store will move from 9600 Wilshire Blvd. — where it's been located since 1938 — to the former Barneys space at 9570 Wilshire Blvd. The men's store will remain open at 9634 Wilshire Blvd., WWD reported.

The new 130,000-square-foot women's store will include ready-to-wear pieces, shoes, handbags, jewelry, beauty products and accessories from established and emerging labels — including over 25 brands new to Saks Fifth Avenue Beverly Hills, the company said in a release.

“Saks Fifth Avenue is resetting the gold standard of luxury shopping in Beverly Hills with the opening of our new women’s store on Wilshire Boulevard,” said Larry Bruce, President, Saks Fifth Avenue stores. “With this new location, we are transforming our West Coast flagship into a lifestyle centric shopping destination with the highest possible focus on personalized service and first-class experiences.

"Saks Fifth Avenue is proud of the strong relationship we have built with the vibrant Beverly Hills community over the past 80 years, and we are excited to cement our position as the premier destination for luxury fashion in Beverly Hills with this elevated luxury shopping experience.”

The new store includes an expanded Fifth Avenue Club personal shopping and styling experience with 15 private suites, an outdoor terrace, beauty treatments, and a hidden bar as part of the jewelry-shopping experience.

The new women's store will be open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 6 p.m.
