I went to the Neiman Marcus in Las Vegas, it was much better than the Saks Fifth Avenue in the same mall, better more upscale brands, the Saks felt kinda Bay-like, both of the stores though were bland and basic looking. Would be interesting to see if they do come to Canada.

I didn't have a chance to go into Saks (was also a little deterred knowing the plight of the stores in canada) when in NYC recently. Bergdorfs was very busy given their few exclusives for certain brands (namely Goyard). The saks in Canada have such minimal hours and few concessions left its not a great place to shop. I was also a bit surprised that the nordstrom stores in manhattan were nowhere near as high end as in Vancouver.
Interestingly enough, after coming out of bankruptcy, I found the neimans stores were packed full of product vs their very curated selection pre-covid, almost to a level of being chaotic now, with that said still a decent selection of product closer to what nordstrom had here. Printemps is also opening a store in NYC.
There are a lot of international department stores that could easily fill the Nordstrom space and probably be successful given the market here espeecially if high end, I would just think that as most foreign entry's into canada have failed that its not attractive for expansion given our weak currency and relatively high operating costs.
