Saks continues Canadian expansion
Saks Fifth Avenue has opened its third Canadian location.
Located at the CF Chinook Centre in Calgary, the 115,000-sq.-ft., two-level and houses a diverse selection of both women’s and men’s offerings. An in-store restaurant, and a salon are slated to open soon.
The store design and planning teams from Hudson’s Bay Company (Saks’ parent company) partnered with Stantec, an Edmonton-based engineering, design and consultancy firm, on the design.
