Bloomie’s is a new concept store in a pedestrian-friendly area of Fairfax, Va. The 22,000-sq.-ft. store brings the best of Bloomingdale’s in a smaller, highly curated format. The Macy’s team collaborated with NELSON Worldwide to create a destination centered around top brands and a casual Cuban-inspired café.
An adaptable floor plan — with rotating display carts — spotlight trending product lines. Layout and flow were optimized to feature new merchandise drops occurring multiple times per week. Thoughtfully placed couches and lounge chairs, give customers a place to relax while they shop. Technology implemented throughout the store simplifies shopping for customers. The store’s black, white and gray checkerboard exterior recalls the 59th Street flagship in New York City.
Judges called out the team’s palette of materials and creative merchandising solutions.
