Would Texans relate to the Manhattan-based megastore? Apparently they did We did And now Saks vibrant and aggressive at the age of 75 is at it again The Fifth Avenue legend has had a presence in the Dallas Galleria since 1982 but now it's growing moving into the space vacated by Marshall Field and giving us a major dose of East Coast style right next door to West Coast-based Nordstrom The new 175000-square-foot store which has 50 percent more selling space than the former digs opens to the public at noon tomorrow following tonight's gala preview benefiting The Center for Neuro-Oncology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center So what's new about the new Saks?
