I just heard the same thing. The SA I spoke to said the SF store would be a "flagship" once the remodel is complete, implying it would be more like a destination shopping experience. I still plan to shop at SF store so left it at that. I'll press for more info next time I go to H.
heard the same thing too, but unfortunately nothing specific on the inventory level!
yea I am going to still go to SF because it's the same distance for me, I like the idea of bigger store and my SA who I've worked with for years isn't moving. The SAs in SF that I talked to also are unsure as to how many clients will move to the PA store as a result of the opening!
Travel time to both stores would be almost the same but, the parking situation gives Palo Alto the edge.
Yes, was told they will even have a cafe there! Can't wait!
a cafe? I can see a local meet up happening there.
Oh my, that would be so great. Does anyone how many stories the store will be as I heard it will be largest in the U.S?
Was told two floors if I didn't remember wrongly. But I think no way it will be larger than Madison
I believe "flagship" means that the store has all of the categories sold by the brand. So SF will have a furniture section, larger housewares, etc. My own suspicion (based on nothing!) is that the PA store will be more like the temp SF store that we have now - limited selection and some departments missing entirely, but still plenty of drool-worthy items.
I believe that H owns the entire building on Grant St. - most of you are probably way too young to know this, but Saks used to be in that building. Always felt like Saks got much more use out of the space than H has. I wish they would hurry with the remodel - and with building out the PA space...
A cafe will be awesome - I always enjoy eating at Sevres.

Thats really interesting! I didnt know that Saks used to be there!
My SA told me originally it was supposed to be the largest in the US. However, after the final floor plan it would be the second largest.
