- Description: Few names in retailing sound sweeter than Proffitt's, but this company found one. Saks Incorporated, formerly Proffitt's, is a top US department store operator, with about 350 stores in about 40 states. Most of its stores are regional chains concentrated in the Southeast and Midwest. These chains include Parisian, Younkers, Carson Pirie Scott, McRae's, Proffitt's, Herberger's, Boston Store, and Bergner's. The company bought renowned luxury retailer Saks Holdings and adopted the high-dollar Saks name in 1998. Saks scrapped its plan to spin off Saks Fifth Avenue, Saks Direct (catalog and Internet operations), and Saks Off 5th as a separate public company, citing poor conditions in the luxury retail market.
