Wholly owned subsidiary of Jones Apparel Group Inc, Barneys New York announced the scheduled opening of a Barneys New York flagship store to be located in NorthPark Center, Dallas, Texas.
The approximately 88,000-square-foot location, which will be the third largest Barneys New York flagship store (behind New York City and Beverly Hills), is scheduled to open in Fall of 2006.
Howard Socol, Chairman and CEO of Barneys, stated, "They are extremely excited about the opening of a flagship store in NorthPark Center and look forward to bringing the Barneys flagship shopping experience to Dallas.
This store, which will be their second flagship store opening in 2006, will carry an assortment of men's and women's apparel, accessories, shoes and cosmetics reflective of the merchandise in their three existing flagship stores in New York, Beverly Hills and Chicago."
Socol continued, "The Dallas flagship store represents the latest development in their commitment to grow the Barneys New York brand through the opening of additional flagship locations and CO-OP stores throughout the country."
Last April, the Company announced the planned opening of a flagship store in Spring 2006 at Copley Place in Boston, representing the first such Barneys New York location to open in twelve years.
Since the beginning of 2005, Barneys has opened additional CO-OP stores in Chicago, Atlanta, Costa Mesa, and Chevy Chase, and has previously announced the opening of CO-OP stores over the course of the next few months in Houston and Georgetown.
