Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH to Open in San Antonio
September 04, 2008

New York-based Saks Inc. announced it will open a new 28,000-sq.-ft. Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH store in San Antonio in spring 2009. The new store will be located in The Rim, a lifestyle shopping and entertainment center located in the city's northwest corridor. Each of the new OFF 5TH locations is designed after the company's prototype store, which debuted in Orlando, Fla., in April 2008, and was created using a "luxury in a loft environment" design to highlight the merchandise and make shopping easy. The San Antonio location will be the first of the new prototype stores to be located in a non-outlet mall format. The company has plans to open OFF 5TH stores in The Arches at Deer Park in Deer Park, N.Y., in October 2008; Prime Outlets in St. Augustine, Fla., in November 2008; Rio Grande Valley Premium Outlets in Mercedes, Texas, in November 2008; The Legends at Sparks Marina in Reno-Sparks, Nev., in May 2009; Cincinnati Premium Outlets in Monroe, Ohio, in August 2009; and Grand Prairie Prime Outlets in Grand Prairie, Texas, in November 2009. Saks currently operates Saks Fifth Avenue, which consists of 53 Saks Fifth Avenue stores, 48 Saks OFF 5TH stores and Saks.com. The company also operates Club Libby Lu specialty stores. The OFF 5TH stores are located in 23 states.
