About Bloomingdale's Hours

Bloomingdale's is an upscale American department store chain owned by Macy's, Inc., the same parent company behind Macy's. Founded in 1861 by brothers Joseph and Lyman Bloomingdale on Manhattan's Lower East Side, the store grew from a small hoop skirt shop into one of the most recognized luxury retail names in the country. The flagship location at 59th Street and Lexington Avenue in New York City takes up an entire city block and draws tourists as much as shoppers. Today Bloomingdale's operates around 55 full-line stores and roughly 20 Bloomingdale's The Outlet locations across the United States, plus its online store at bloomingdales.com. The brand sits a tier above its corporate sibling Macy's, competing directly with Nordstrom and Dillard's for the upper-middle market. Neiman Marcus sits a tier above in the luxury space.

Bloomingdale's Store Hours - What Time Does Bloomingdale's Open and Close? Most Bloomingdale's locations follow a schedule of 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM Monday through Saturday, though this varies by location. Stores in major metro areas and high-traffic malls may open at 10:00 AM and close at 9:00 PM on weekdays. Sunday hours are typically 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM or noon to 6:00 PM. The flagship New York store keeps slightly extended hours compared to suburban locations. Your best bet is always to check the store locator at bloomingdales.com/stores for your specific location, since mall-based stores follow the mall's posted hours.

Weekend Shopping at Bloomingdale's Saturdays are the busiest day at Bloomingdale's, particularly around the cosmetics and fragrance counters on the ground floor. Expect more foot traffic between noon and 4:00 PM. If you want personal attention from a sales associate, aim for Saturday morning right when doors open or after 6:00 PM when the crowds thin out. Sundays are quieter and shorter. Most locations open at 11:00 AM or noon and close between 6:00 PM and 7:00 PM. Sunday mornings are great for browsing without pressure, and you can often find associates who have time to help you put outfits together or explain the differences between product lines.

Bloomingdale's Holiday Hours Bloomingdale's adjusts its schedule around major holidays. The store is closed on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. For most other holidays - New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day - stores remain open with potentially modified hours. Black Friday is a major event, with many locations opening early at 8:00 AM or even earlier. During the holiday season from late November through Christmas Eve, expect extended hours at most locations, with some stores staying open until 10:00 PM or later on weekdays. Christmas Eve hours are typically reduced, with doors closing around 5:00 PM or 6:00 PM. Check our holiday hours guide for complete holiday schedules across all major retailers.

How Bloomingdale's Compares to Other Department Stores Bloomingdale's occupies a specific niche in the department store world. It sits above mass-market chains like JCPenney, Kohl's, and its sibling Macy's, but below ultra-luxury retailers like Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue. Where Macy's casts a wide net with price points for everyone, Bloomingdale's curates a more fashion-forward selection with higher average prices. Nordstrom is probably its closest competitor - both target affluent shoppers who want designer brands alongside strong private labels, and both invest heavily in customer service. Dillard's serves a similar market in the South and Midwest but at slightly lower price points. If you find Target or Walmart too casual but Saks too expensive, Bloomingdale's is likely your sweet spot.

What You'll Find at Bloomingdale's The store is organized around several main departments. Women's clothing and accessories take up the most floor space, with everything from contemporary designers like Theory and Vince to premium brands like Burberry and Chanel. Men's fashion gets a strong showing too - Bloomingdale's was actually one of the first department stores to create dedicated men's floors with designer suiting, casual wear, and accessories. The home department carries bedding, kitchenware, furniture, and home decor from brands like Le Creuset, Dyson, and Waterford - many of the same cookware brands you'd find at a dedicated kitchen store like Williams-Sonoma. Cosmetics and fragrance are a major draw, with most locations featuring counters from Chanel, Dior, La Mer, Estee Lauder, and Tom Ford among others. Shoes span designer heels to casual sneakers across multiple brand collections.

Shopping Smart at Bloomingdale's The Bloomingdale's Loyallist rewards program is free to join and earns you 3 points per dollar spent, with 5,000 points converting to a $25 reward. The Bloomingdale's credit card bumps that up to 4 points per dollar. The store runs regular promotions - "Friends & Family" events happen a few times per year and offer 25% off most items. The "Take an Extra" sales can stack discounts on already-reduced merchandise. For the best deals, check the clearance sections and the Bloomingdale's Outlet locations, where you can find past-season items at 40-70% off original retail. Unlike Ross or Burlington, the outlet still carries recognizable designer labels, just from previous collections.

Bloomingdale's Online Shopping Bloomingdales.com carries nearly everything available in stores, plus online-exclusive items and brands. The site offers free shipping on orders over $150 (Loyallist members get free shipping on all orders). You can buy online and pick up in store, or return online purchases to any Bloomingdale's location. The website runs the same promotions as stores, and sometimes offers online-only coupon codes. Price matching is available - if you find a lower price at a competitor, the store may match it within 14 days of purchase.

The Bloomingdale's Experience Part of what separates Bloomingdale's from mass-market competitors is the shopping experience. Stores are designed with wide aisles, curated displays, and a layout that encourages browsing rather than rushing. Many locations feature in-store restaurants or cafes - the flagship New York location has several dining options. Personal shopping services are available at most full-line stores at no extra charge. The annual holiday window displays at the New York flagship have become a tradition since the 1960s, drawing crowds along Lexington Avenue every November and December. At its core, Bloomingdale's tries to make department store shopping feel like an event rather than an errand, which is a different vibe than you get walking into Sears or Belk.
