NY to get shoe store so big it has own ZIP code


1 hour, 33 minutes ago


NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York's famed Saks Fifth Avenue department store plans to open a shoe department so big it has been granted its own ZIP code, 10022-SHOE, the company said on Thursday.

Saks said it plans to nearly double the number of shoes for sale and take over the entire eighth floor of its flagship store in Manhattan. The expanded department will open in September under the name 10022-SHOE.

"10022-SHOE will also hold a place in U.S. history as the first floor to be granted its own designated ZIP code by the United States Post Office," Saks said in a statement.


The news may delight women with shoe obsessions to rival that of former Philippines first lady Imelda Marcos. "Visitors to the new eighth floor will be greeted by a seemingly endless array of shoes," the statement said.

Wouldn't that mean the shoe department would have to have it's own post office and government postal workers?

 I don't think so. Does every zip code have to have that? Anyway, it looks like the unique part is the last 4 digits, and I know that you don't have to have a post office for those small divisions...my apartment building alone has three seperate sets of the last 4 digits!

Damn, that's almost enough to remove my self imposed boycott on the store (terrible customer service, long story)
