Why do you attend SPECS each year?

Saks to debut new store concept
Saks Fifth Avenue is expanding further into the specialty store business.
The retailer announced plans to open a 21,000-sq.-ft. store devoted to jewelry and contemporary women’s ready-to-wear in Greenwich, Connecticut. Earlier this year, Saks announced plans to open a standalone shoe store concept, 10022-Shoe, also in Greenwich.
Saks already operates a women’s-only store in Greenwich, which it opened in 1997.
All three of the Saks stores will be in walking distance of one another.
