More than 100 years of Neiman Marcus history appears to be ending because of a 25-foot-long plot of dirt sitting under the iconic downtown Dallas department store’s escalators. Neiman Marcus plans to shutter its flagship store at 1618 Main St.

There’s also the attempted exit from Neiman Marcus’ relatively new office lease at Cityplace Tower in Uptown— a move that the landlord, NexPoint, disputes is even allowed. Then, there’s Saks’ announcement that it’s injecting $100 million into the NorthPark location of Neiman Marcus for renovations.

Saks Global announced the Dallas flagship Neiman Marcus store will close on March 31 claiming the building landlord forced the closure.

Herbert Marcus Sr., his sister, Carrie Marcus Neiman, and her husband A.L. Neiman opened the retailer's first store in Dallas, Texas, in 1907.

As an editorial in this paper noted, the loss comes as “a painful reckoning that a part of who we are is going away.” When Neiman Marcus is gone, downtown — once a regional mecca of department stores — will have no such institution remaining.

Nearly 120 years after its opening, the luxury department store’s historic Dallas headquarters is shuttering, Saks Global, the new owner of Neiman Marcus, revealed in a statement. The headquarters will be closing its doors for good on March 31.

Neiman Marcus announced Tuesday it will close its flagship store in downtown Dallas after more than 100 years. The store will close March 31st after parent company Saks Global was ordered to terminate occupancy.
