The Neiman Marcus Group, Inc. · Dallas, TX United States

Not for the faint of finances, Neiman Marcus department stores offer high-fashion, high-quality women's and men's apparel (from such labels as Chanel and Prada), accessories, fine jewelry, china, crystal, and silver. The Neiman Marcus Group operates some 40 Neiman Marcus stores in some 20 states and the District of Columbia, as well as two Bergdorf Goodman stores in New York City and two dozen Last-Call clearance centers that sell marked-down goods. Its mail-order business, Neiman Marcus Direct, distributes catalogs (which offer apparel, home furnishings, and gourmet foods) under the Neiman Marcus By Mail and Horchow names. The upscale retail chain was acquired by two private equity firms in 2005. To read the full description, subscribe now.
