Saks Off 5th opens at Legends Outlets Kansas City
More than six years after leaving the area market, Saks Fifth Avenue is back. But this time with an outlet store.
Saks Fifth Avenue Off 5th will open in the Legends Outlets Kansas City on Thursday. The Saks outlet store, at 1803 Village West Parkway, Kansas City, Kan., will sell designer clothing and accessories, including jewelry, shoes, sunglasses, handbags and beauty items like Chi flat irons.
There’s a long sleeve Martin Gordon men’s shirt regularly priced at $110 but $74.99 at the outlet, Gucci shades regularly priced at $350 for $139.99, and a $365 Kate Spade bag for $299.99. The store also carries Saks’ Black Label private label, Z Spoke by Zac Posen, Threads, St. John, L.A.M.B, and more.
It has one of Off 5th’s “luxury in a loft” store designs, which have a more open layout. Men’s apparel, accessories and shoes takes up about one-third of the store, and the rest is devoted to women’s, children’s, home and beauty. The 25,000-square-foot space was formerly occupied by Home Decorators Collection.
Off 5th will have about 45 full-and part-time employees.
Robert Wallstrom, president OFF 5th, will cut the ribbon about 9:30 a.m. for a 10 a.m. opening Thursday. During opening weekend events customers will have a chance to win a trip to New York to attend Fashion’s Night Out 2011 on Sept. 8 – when celebrities, designers, stars and shoppers mingle at stores. They also will get coupons for 20 percent off an item in several departments.
Saks has 57 Saks Fifth Avenue Off 5th stores in 23 states, and 46 Saks Fifth Avenue stores. It closed its Country Club Plaza store in February 2005.
In March 2010, The Legends at Village West, at Interstate 435 and State Avenue, said it would reposition itself as a destination outlet center called Legends Outlets Kansas City. The center is near such high traffic draws as Kansas Speedway, Livestrong Sporting Park, and Schlitterbahn Kansas City Waterpark.
