When Barneys New York came back to NorthPark Center in 2006, they made a huge splash with an equally splashy ad campaign. Folks were anxious to have the un-self-conscious luxury retailer back in Big D. It showed the rest of the world that our fair city was on our way back up.
While it appears that Dallas has one of the healthiest real estate markets in the country, and our state has no shortage of millionaires and billionaires, and yet, we’re losing our Barneys?
As Dallas Biz Journal reporter Steven Thompson notes, Barneys was acquired earlier this year by Perry Capital. Does the new owner have something to do with the two-story NorthPark anchor closing?
While NorthPark Center officials say something “exciting” is planned for that huge space, Barneys will be missed. Why do you think the store is closing?
Dallas = square, corny, aesthetically challenged. Barney’s is too good for Dallas.
Because they are not Neiman’s…. Their inventory is too strange for most women…..
@Karen we DO have Neimans, except if your personal shopper sleeps with your husband, then you’re screwed. I’m going to miss Barneys…although, their inventory was a liiittle limited.
LOL Peter
Too cutting edge for mainstream Dallas clientele
What will possibly occupy that space? Please no Cheesecake Factory.
Likely the space will be divided into 4 spaces for more chain stores
I shop at Barneys twice a year – when I visit my daughter in NY. When I am spending real money on clothes I want the real thing, not the watered-down version that Barneys had here.
We have Stanley Korshak and Highland Park Village nuff said!
Everything in that store is designed for a fetus. Fetuses don’t have Centurion cards. Size 12 matrons do!
Same reason it closed the first time. There are just not enough people that fit their target demographic and lets’ face it, we have Neimans. With Neiman’s you have loyalty that goes back generations. People in Texas are loyal especially when it comes to retail!
Their inventory wasn’t terribly exciting and it was dead whenever I visited the store over the past year or two. I wondered how it stayed open.
