As Kate Middleton has proved, you just can't go wrong with a good pair of gold hoop earrings. Launched at the tail-end of summer, the 22, square-foot location in Fairfax, VA, is about one-tenth the size of a normal department store.

Some are being more bullish than others. That means a distinct selection across price points, from trend-driven denim to designer shoes to luxury fragrances and skincare. In that sense, it merges the purely services-oriented offering from rival Nordstrom Local — which facilitates localized services like pick-up and returns — with the boutique model adopted by other department stores. Once seen as a means to grow fast food chains, franchising is becoming a viable way for startup brands to quickly scale.

This is especially true for service-focused companies, such as young fitness studios, salons and bakeries, which are taking up franchising to grow their presence. During the Modern Retail Summit held last month in Palm Springs, Modern Retail held an intimate working group with top retailers and brands. Neiman Marcus tried back in with a new model called Cusp, a proposed chain of small boutiques featuring more contemporary, lower-priced fashion.

More than relevancy, it brings a new intimacy between customers and the brand, says Mortimer Singer, managing partner of Traub, a business development and investment firm. But the selection of brands will be scaled down and adapted to the tastes of the local market. The layout and flow of the store will be optimized for customer discovery with new deliveries multiple times per week. In this way it becomes a part of the neighborhood, not some cavernous temple of luxury which describes the typical luxury department store.

Service staff on the floor will be experts in the full range of products within, unlike traditional department stores where staff work in specific departments.

Rather than just acting as sales people, they will be trained stylists who can help the customer put together their personalized look. For years, multi-brand department stores have been anchors in malls and shopping districts with the idea that their large format and wide array of merchandise will attract the widest possible number of shoppers.
