"Set to open in the Mosaic District in Fairfax later this year, the first-ever Bloomie’s is a scaled-down offshoot of Bloomingdale’s that aims to move away from indoor malls and cater to a younger shopper by stocking emerging brands and following online-sales patterns. The store will offer shoppers food and drink options — including Cuban coffee drinks, rum cocktails, croquetas, and pressed sandwiches — and will house a 900-square-foot Colada Shop with its own separate entrance and patio so customers can carry tropical drinks while they shop; bringing in Colada Shop lets Bloomie’s highlight a local brand rather than build its own restaurant." - Gabe Hiatt
