Saks Fifth Avenue will debut the new main floor of its flagship New York City store this week, marking a major milestone in its $250 million renovation project.

Hudson’s Bay Co.’s 41 Saks stores have been one of the few bright stars for the struggling retailer, which over the past year sold the e-commerce site Gilt, merged European operations with a rival and closed some Lord & Taylor stores. Comparable-store sales at Saks rose for the past six consecutive quarters.
