Saks Fifth Avenue to close Palm Beach store on April 16, 2025

Saks Fifth Avenue will close its Worth Avenue location in Palm Beach, Florida, on April 16, 2025. The store has been operating since 1926, but changing shopping habits have led to its closure. Employees may be offered positions at Saks' other stores in Palm Beach County. Saks plans to continue its presence on the island through a personal shopping service at the White Elephant hotel. This closure follows a trend of department stores struggling in the area, with Macy's also having closed locations due to declining sales. Saks recently announced plans to acquire Neiman Marcus for $2.65 billion.
