“We would have liked to have it open by now,” Jamie Salter, CEO of Authentic Brands, said during a conference Wednesday. The opening was delayed by the pandemic.

Fred’s, the restaurant within Barneys, will also be making a return in 2021, although details have yet been released.

Barneys will also open a small standalone shop in Greenwich, Connecticut.
