Bloomingdale’s has not been in Dallas since I was a young girl so when I heard the news of  two Bloomingdale’s Outlet locations coming in North Texas, I could not keep calm.

As first reported by Dallas Business Journal, the first location is set to open spring 2012 at The Shops at Park Lane in Dallas and the second location is set to open in the summer in Grand Prairie.

I remember shopping at Bloomingdale’s with my cousin Michelle.   The store was a sure stop on our weekly shopping trips.  Of course at that time during the 1980’s,  Dallas was a slightly different city.  The shopping giant began closing their Texas locations in the early 1990’s, but I am glad the Bloomingdale’s brand is returning to the metroplex.

Gee, I’ve missed those iconic brown bags!
