Retailer Saks Fifth Avenue’s women’s store in Beverly Hills has relocated from the Wilshire Boulevard address it had occupied since 1938 to a new storefront less than 200 feet down the street.
Doors officially opened on Feb. 8 at the new location at 9570 Wilshire Boulevard, the six-story building previously occupied by Barneys New York. City officials and Saks executives presided at a ribbon cutting ceremony that morning, while invited guests experienced a sneak peek of the expansive space at private receptions the evening before.

The 130,000 square-foot new store features a “5,000 square-foot shoe experience” on its main floor, with other levels housing boutiques for luxury houses that include Chanel, Dior, Gucci and Louis Vuitton.
One of the most innovative features of the new establishment is the “Fifth Avenue Club,” 15 luxury private suites where expert stylists collaborate with customers on a one-on-one basis.
