After 112 years, the historic Downtown Dallas Neiman Marcus is preparing to close its doors next week on September 30, 2026.

In this episode of Sorry, It’s Discontinued, I’m saying goodbye to a store that became so much more than a place to shop.

We’re looking back at the incredible history inside this building—from Stanley Marcus and the legendary Neiman Marcus Fashion Awards to the extravagant Fortnight celebrations, The Zodiac, Helen Corbitt, famous popovers, monkey bread, and more than a century of retail memories.

I also share what it felt like to visit the Downtown Dallas flagship one last time and think about the generations of customers, families and retail associates who have walked through those doors since 1914.

And for this week’s discontinued item, I’m doing something a little different: the Downtown Dallas Neiman Marcus itself.

Thankfully, Neiman Marcus isn't disappearing. If you want to continue the tradition, visit the NorthPark Center location in Dallas or one of the other longtime Neiman Marcus stores still serving their communities, including Houston. Find your nearest store through the Neiman Marcus Store Directory.

And if you're wondering why I'm recording this episode without makeup if you happen to watch it somewhere...I decided to practice what I preach and do something for myself! I treated myself to a facial at Hi Skin. If you're in Houston, look for Jenesha at the Uptown Park location or Tiffany at the Rice Village location. My freshly pampered face is why we're going makeup-free for this one!

Most of all, this episode is about something bigger than a department store.

The things we buy may disappear, but the memories we make in these places can stay with us forever.
