Saks Off 5th Closing in Clarksburg
The outlet fashion retailer Saks Off 5th is set to permanently close its store at Clarksburg Premium Outlets, with operations expected to end by April 2026.
The closure is part of a broader restructuring effort that includes shutting down more than 55 locations nationwide. The Clarksburg store is also one of two locations scheduled to close within Montgomery County.
The retailer first opened at the outlet center in 2016, and the timing of the shutdown suggests a possible lease expiration after nearly a decade of operation. No official confirmation has been provided regarding lease terms.
For local shoppers, the closure means fewer options for discounted designer apparel and accessories in the area. However, other brands and outlet retailers at the shopping center continue to operate, and the space could eventually attract a new tenant.
Retail analysts note that the move reflects wider shifts in the outlet and department store sector, where changing shopping habits and rising operational costs are forcing companies to reassess physical store footprints.
An exact final closing date has not been announced, but customers can expect clearance sales and inventory reductions leading up to the shutdown.
