Saks Off 5th reported plans to close nine of its approximately 100 stores in early 2026

In a media statement, Saks Global said the company had “identified opportunities to optimize its Saks Off 5th store network “through both initiatives to drive performance and elevate the customer experience.

“As part of our ongoing and comprehensive strategy, we have taken a critical eye to our store footprint and will be closing select store locations in early 2026. We are confident this will better position the Saks Off 5th business for long-term success and look forward to continuing to deliver for our customers,” the company continued.

Stores are expected to close in Austin, TX; Chicago, IL; East Hanover, NJ; Niagara Falls, NY; Pittsburgh North, Plymouth Meeting, and Franklin Mall in Pennsylvania; Washington, D.C.; and West Hartford, CT.

The move will allow the retailer to “place greater attention to our high-performing and high-potential store locations, and refinements across our store footprint,” the statement said. “We are confident this will better position the Saks Off 5TH business for long-term success and look forward to continuing to deliver for our customers.”
