Bloomingdale’s Outlet to open in Merrimack
A Bloomingdale’s Outlet will be among the 100 stores opening this spring at the Merrimack Premium Outlets, the retailer announced Wednesday.
Macy’s Inc., owner of the Bloomingdale’s department store chain, made the announcement in a press release. In the release, the company said the new Merrimack store will be one of five new Bloomingdale’s Outlets planned across the country.
The 25,000-square-foot Bloomingdale’s Outlet will serve as an anchor store at the outlet center, which is slated to open in early June. About 35 people are expected to be employed at the store.
Bloomingdale’s rolled out its outlet concept in 2010, one of which opened this past fall at the Wrentham Premium Outlets. Bloomingdale’s Outlets offer the upscale brands sold at its department stores at discounts of 35 percent to 70 percent off retail prices.
Bloomingdale’s is the second anchor store to be confirmed at the center. The first, which was announced in August, is Saks Fifth Avenue Off 5th, the outlet arm of the luxury retailer Saks Fifth Avenue.
