Definitely not, the reasons are stated in the past two pages of this thread.

They both fall in the upper middle, but Bloomingdales falls into an overall higher end spectrum, the fact that the store has 1/5 the locations of Nordstrom is just one reason as to why, Bloomingdales is extremely selective with their market and locations.

They actually passed on the Cherry Hill Mall in NJ and Nordstrom jumped in after them.

Its quite hard to find, but I would like to see the highest grossing stores by total sales and SF sales for all the big high-end department stores.

I've heard some rumors from friends who work at Nordstrom and Saks which are the highest performing, but it might be just hearsay.

In Baltimore, downtown shopping centered around Howard and Lexington streets, where you had four department stores in close proximity to each other. Stewart's and Hutzler's was upper middle, Hecht's and The May Company was middle, with Hochschild Kohn and Sears at Hartford and North Avenues lower middle. Finally, Gutman's served the bargain basement. The last one was absorbed into Value City in the '80s. The five and dimes of course served the lower end. Baltimore never has had a truly high-end department store throughout its history, but it was certainly a nice place to shop.

At its peak, downtown Baltimore's shopping rivaled that of DC and Philladelphia today, but was even more concentrated than the scattered configuration you see down I-95 today. Lexington Market was the food court and was packed to the brim with vendors and food sellers like Pike Place or Reading Terminal is today; Lexington Street was a street of decent midrange stores that stretched over to Charles Street, which at the time was on par with Philadelphia's Walnut Street today with its jewelers, boutiques, and linen shops. A block of Lexington was razed for the Charles Center redevelopment in the 1960s, cutting it off with Charles St. Baltimore's shopping heyday downtown started its long decline in the mid-1950s when O'Neill & Co. on Charles Street closed. Shortly after, the first malls opened, the I-695 Beltway was built, the streetcars were terminated, and urban decay took hold as fewer and fewer people decided to stay put in the suburbs. Another reminder that Baltimore was below the Mason-Dixon line was that the large downtown stores didn't accept blacks until 1960, and were forced to shop at Gutman's and Brager's a block away at Park Ave. and Lexington St. But since the 1990s, downtown shopping in Baltimore has been a joke (more on the level of Memphis, Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, San Diego, and St. Louis), with a half-empty Galleria, Antique Row, and preference for dining and nightlife over shopping, since many Baltimoreans are contempt with visiting suburban malls, DC, outlet centers, or going online.

My pic taken years ago from an upper floor window of the Grand Hyatt Union Square, anyhow, the spot where Stockton and Geary meet is quite posh, on the 4 corners of this intersection sit the largest Neiman Marcus store, a Louis Vuitton flagship store, a Bvlgari flagship store, and the SE corner of Union Square. Not bad
I would think # of stores in a city or region is more impressive than sq footage of the stores. Especially after you get past a certain sq footage level.

Even more impressive is which metro region has (one or multiple) Saks, Neimans, Bloomingdales, Nordstrom

I think its New York, Boston, Philadelphia, DC, Atlanta, Miami, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, SF, LA, Honolulu.

AND I believe all of those metros have multiple locations of at least one of those department stores.

Oops, you're right, only an outlet in Dallas.

So subtract Dallas and Houston, so a very small number of American cities.

This is false also. Extremely selective? More like which one can afford to open new stores. The answer is Nordstrom.

When I was there it was Downtown Seattle, Michigan Ave Chicago, Southcoast Plaza, Bellevue Square, Northpark Dallas, Galleria Houston, San Francisco Tyson's Corner....

The Nyc store my guess is probably near the top.
