Bloomingdale's, the New York based division of Federated Department Stores (Cincinnati), has said that the opening of its new Home & Furniture Store in Chicago, in the refurbished Medinah Temple just off N. Michigan Avenue, has been postponed until February 2003. It will miss the 2002 holiday shopping season.
