New York, NY (January 18, 2011) —Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH today announced that it has signed a letter of intent to open a new store at the Tuscany Place Designer Outlets, a new, upscale pedestrian-friendly lifestyle outlet development in Madison (metropolitan Jackson), MS. The center and the Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH store are expected to open in the spring of 2012.

“We look forward to opening our first Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH store in Mississippi where the temperate climate allows for year round shopping,” noted Robert Wallstrom, President of Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH. “We are excited to join the retail community of Madison and metro Jackson to offer customers a wide variety of the latest fashion and high quality merchandise as well as exceptional service.”
