Busy September for off-pricer

Saks Fifth Avenue Off 5th is opening three stores on Sept. 1, two north of the border.



The retailer is set to open its first-ever locations in Canada’s Alberta province, a 31,900-sq.-ft. store at South Edmonton Common, Edmonton, and a 30,000-sq.-ft. store at CrossIron Mills, Rocky View.



In addition, the off-pricer is opening a 23,000-sq.-ft. store at El Paseo Square, Palm Desert, California, also on Sept. 1.



The new stores will reflect the Off 5th store design aesthetic, which features an open, modern layout and playful graphic elements in an easy-to-shop ‘treasure hunt’ environment.
