NewMND Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 I think they should build a Galleria expansion where Dilliards currently sits, tear it down, and build the new expansion there with Bloomingdales and Dilliards as anchor stores. That's the only spot I could think of for them to build an expansion if they are seriously considering a "Galleria 5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

111486 Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 I think Barney's is actually going out of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
london0868 Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Houston has had a Barney's New York already. A few years ago you would have found it in Galleria I near Neiman Marcus, just about where the Chanel store is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalparadise Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Barney's already tried it once here, with the probably the most prime non-anchor spot in the Galleria. So, I'd bet we see a few inches of snow before we see them again.Bloomingdales had a similar experience in Texas (in Dallas), though I'd assume they have a better chance of testing Houston waters in our lifetime.Did you shop at either of these places when they were around? Would you if they came back? Would they compete for your dollars that would otherwise be spent at NM or S5A?I always find it funny how some people on this board (not necessarily you, just in general) seem to think having these retailers is so important to the quality of urban life, yet never go inside one.It's the same mentality that thinks having a Planet Hollywood is somehow good for the city. It's mind-boggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssullivan Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 On a related question, if not one of those stores, who do you think will fill the Lord & Taylor spot when it opens up in the near future? That is a prime anchor spot for the Galleria, with good visibility on Westheimer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewMND Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 "On a related question, if not one of those stores, who do you think will fill the Lord & Taylor spot when it opens up in the near future? That is a prime anchor spot for the Galleria, with good visibility on Westheimer" I was thinking Macy's. Then they could tear down Galleria 3 and build an office tower or hotel that connects to the galleria. But I don't know if Lord & Taylor is a big enough space for Macy's. I think the Galleria already has most of the "upscale" anchors, of course they could get desperate to rent that space out and go "lowscale" for like Penny's, Sears or Wal-Mart! Actually, maybe they could tear the L&T building down and build a Ritz or something in it's place, since Galleria 3 ain't going anywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DORTEGA005 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 OKay, Barneys is here at the Galleria now. Its CO-OP Barney's. Smaller store, but has a more modern, youthful feel as well their clothes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
