The luxury department store company is shuttering four locations, as well as 17 of its off-price Neiman Marcus Last Call stores, according to court documents filed Thursday. Among them is the Hudson Yards location in New York City, which opened just over a year ago to significant fanfare as part of the much-anticipated high-end mall development on Manhattan's west side.
"As part of our Chapter 11 proceedings, we provided to the court a list of Neiman Marcus stores that we will close," a Neiman Marcus Group spokesperson said in a statement to Business Insider. "These store closures will help ensure the continued long-term success of our business and underscores our unrelenting focus on providing unparalleled luxury experiences and engagement."
Neiman Marcus was one of the first major retailers to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection amid the coronavirus pandemic, which prompted temporary store closures and contributed to plummeting sales. In a statement in May, CEO Geoffroy van Raemdonck said part of the decision was due to the "inexorable pressure" of the outbreak.
"Prior to COVID-19, Neiman Marcus Group was making solid progress on our journey to long-term profitable and sustainable growth," Raemdonck said at the time. "We have grown our unrivaled luxury customer base, expanded our industry-leading customer relationships, achieved higher omni-channel penetration, and made meaningful strides in our transformation to become the preeminent luxury customer platform.
