Saks Global to Shutter 57 Off 5th Stores, Close Last Call and Website as Liquidation Sales Begin

The downsizing reflects a Chapter 11 plan to reduce debt from the Neiman Marcus deal by refocusing on full‑price luxury.

Overview

  • Closing sales start Jan. 31 at 34 Saks Off 5th stores, with 23 additional locations set to close on Feb. 2, leaving 12 Off 5th stores operating.
  • All five Last Call outlets will close, and the remaining Off 5th stores will shift to selling residual inventory rather than buying merchandise directly.
  • Saksoff5th.com, a separate legal entity, has begun a wind‑down with online closing sales that launched Jan. 30.
  • Saks says the shutdowns are subject to bankruptcy‑court approvals as it draws an initial $500 million from a $1.75 billion financing package, with Amazon’s objections slated for a mid‑February hearing.
  • Gift cards are accepted in stores through Feb. 14 and online through Feb. 13, while Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman continue to operate normally.
