As a homeowner in BPC, losing Saks means nothing to me or many people who live here. Saks was always empty and a bad idea from the start.
They need to put something that will appeal to the people who live here. Trader Joe’s or more reasonable priced retail.
Best regards,

Saks is failing, in part, because of a lack of diversity in sizing and in cosmetics. You cannot category exclusively to size 0 women and expected to be profitable. I was looking forward to have easy access to a high end retailer until I realized it had virtually nothing I could purchase but shoes and pocketbooks.

To the editor:
When Saks opened many of us predicted it would not fare well. While we all like nice things, us lower Manhattanites tend to be too practical to splurge to the extent necessary to support a retailer like Saks or many of the stores in the Oculus, for that matter.
In case anyone from Brookfield is reading this, a mid-range department store such as Lord & Taylor would be very well received Downtown. And since Lord & Taylor will be closing its Manhattan location in January, the timing would be perfect.
