The Neiman Marcus store in downtown Dallas will remain open at least through the 2025 holiday season, The Dallas Morning News reports. Store and city officials said that Saks Global, owner of Neiman Marcus, will keep the store open while it “explores a reimagination of the location in collaboration with the city of Dallas.”

Possible concepts for historic space — which dates to 1907 — include a luxury retail experience, a curated art exhibition, a fashion and event center, or an incubator for fashion design and manufacturing, officials say. (Click here for more on potential future uses for the store.)

“We deeply admire the city’s passion and unwavering dedication to Neiman Marcus’ storied legacy in Dallas. The potential reimagination of this iconic shopping destination reinforces Saks Global’s commitment to redefining the luxury shopping experience,” said Saks Global CEO Marc Metrick. “As we explore opportunities for the Downtown store, along with the planned renovation at the NorthPark store, we will evaluate the opportunity to utilize both locations to serve different customer needs in the Dallas market.”

As reported previously, the store was slated to close March 31.
