Bloomingdale’s Corporate Office

Brothers Joseph and Lyman G. Bloomingdale opened their first shop in 1872 at 938 Third Avenue in New York City.

At the time the Upper East Side of Manhattan was a working-class neighborhood with shantytowns, garbage dumps, and stockyards. Within a few years of the store opening the Metropolitan Museum of Art opened, Central Park was finished, and the Lexington Avenue line started construction, all of which brought wealthier customers to the neighborhood.

In 1886 the store moved to its current location at 59th Street and Lexington Avenue. This was the center of the horse-drawn trolley system in New York and a convenient location for the store.

Today Bloomingdale’s is a chain of more than 35 upscale department stores and home stores in a dozen states. Bloomingdale’s is a subsidiary of Macy’s.

The Bloomingdale’s flagship store in New York City is a Manhattan institution and a tourist attraction.

In 2004 Kate Spade Home was launched, featuring bedding, bath items, china, wallpaper, and other home products.

In 2007 the company was sold to Fifth & Pacific, formerly known as Liz Claiborne Inc.
