Food hall is a good idea. it will bring people in who normally wouldn't set foot in a Saks.

The Food Hall is the best part of Harrods. It's a beautiful place to explore and the food is so well displayed. I would be overjoyed if they had something even close to that standard. (especially in the decor)

The Food Hall is the best part of Harrods.

That's a backhanded compliment, but it is the best part of that store. Nonetheless, it's pretty overrated. If they're going to be name-dropping traditional London food halls, HBC should be emulating Fortnum & Mason and Selfridges, although I guess they mention Harrods because it isn't controlled by the Westons.

KaDeWe in Berlin also has an exemplary food hall.

Japanese department stores also have excellent food halls.

Jason and canmark are both on the mark:

The world's best department store food halls

KaDeWe in Berlin also has an exemplary food hall.

Was also very impressive for its range of products, but not quite as opulent. In the end though, security told me photographs in KaDeWe were verboten.

How old is that proposal/rendering? It would have to be over 2 years old now with Addition Elle long gone and the Dineen Building restored

It may be old, but just added to their website

Not a proposal. Just a concept.

 

[Skeezix]

There is a reason it never advanced beyond the concept stage. Ugly.

So Pusateri's will be partnering with Saks. I wonder how they're going to work it out with O&B at the Queen Street store, considering that Saks is inside Hudson's Bay.
