Neiman Marcus

Neiman Marcus is an American luxury department store brand based in Dallas, Texas, with a heritage that stretches back to 1907. The company was founded by Herbert Marcus, Carrie Marcus Neiman, and Abraham Lincoln Neiman, who opened the original Dallas store with a focus on high-quality women’s apparel. Within weeks, their first inventory sold out, setting the stage for a reputation built on luxury and attentive service.

Over the decades, Neiman Marcus expanded well beyond its Texas roots. By the mid-1990s, the brand had established a national presence in major cities such as New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, and became known for exclusive merchandise, signature store events, and a catalog business that reached customers across the country. A significant milestone came in 1968 when the company merged with Broadway-Hale Stores, paving the way for further growth and a coast-to-coast footprint.

As of November 2025, Neiman Marcus operates 36 stores across the United States, maintaining a presence in premier shopping districts and high-end malls. The company is part of Neiman Marcus Group, which also includes Bergdorf Goodman and other luxury retail concepts. Since emerging from bankruptcy in 2020, Neiman Marcus has focused on strengthening its existing locations and investing in digital and omnichannel capabilities, rather than expanding its physical footprint. There have been no new store openings announced during this period, reflecting a strategy centered on optimizing current assets and enhancing the customer experience through technology and service.

In the past five years, the brand has evolved by prioritizing digital innovation and adapting its operations to meet changing consumer expectations. Neiman Marcus remains privately held, owned by a consortium of investment firms, and continues to serve as a prominent anchor in luxury retail environments. Its established reputation, stable store count, and commitment to both in-store and online excellence make it a reliable and recognizable presence in the sector.
