The third Bloomie's location is set to take on
the west coast, opening in Seattle's University Village on November 2
NEW
YORK, Oct. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Bloomingdale's today announced that it will
open a "Bloomie's" store location in Seattle, WA on November
2, 2023 within University Village. The smaller store concept
by Bloomingdale's provides a
casual, contemporary, and highly curated experience for shoppers in
the Seattle community. This will
be the third Bloomie's location to open, with the other stores
located in Fairfax, VA and
Skokie, IL.
This is the brand's first brick-and-mortar presence in the
market, and the 19,000 square-foot, two-floor Bloomie's store will
be a great expression of Bloomingdale's with a robust offering of
brands and services. The store is expertly designed with
flexibility in mind, allowing Bloomie's to adapt and meet the needs
of the local Seattle customer
while still featuring a contemporary, edited mix that balances
casual, trend and function.
Bloomie's will have a powerful curation of men's and women's
fashion for local nuances both in brand mix and product categories.
It will carry a range of on-trend ready to wear and accessory
brands such as Veronica Beard, Rag
& Bone, Polo, MZ Wallace, Alo Yoga and more. An expansive shoe
section will feature brands like Birkenstock, ON, and Vince and
shoppers can also expect coveted beauty brands such as Byredo,
Augustinus Bader, and Maison Francis Kurkdjian. Core to the Bloomie's
ethos is carving dedicated space for rotating pop ups and trends,
thoughtfully selected assortments specific to each location. The
Seattle community will have
exclusive access to brands Sandro, Maje and James Perse. Bloomie's will proudly be the only
point of distribution in Seattle.
"The expansion to University Village represents the introduction
of our Bloomie's store concept to the west coast and we are
thrilled to be present in the Seattle market," said Charles Anderson, Director of Stores at
Bloomingdale's. "Although this is
our first physical storefront in the area, Bloomingdale's
already has an engaged customer base in the Seattle market. We look forward to welcoming
those loyal shoppers, and new guests within the community, to our
new location."
To celebrate the grand opening, Bloomie's will be hosting a
series of events and activations to welcome and introduce the store
concept to the community:
- Official Ribbon Cutting Ceremony: On November 2, the doors to Bloomie's will
officially be open with a celebratory ribbon cutting, hosted by

fashion-themed sweets from local favorite bakery, Jenny Cookies and
