The company used its national heft to sign exclusive partnership deals with designers last year, such as the Martha Stewart home collection that launched in September and an alliance with Tommy Hilfiger announced in October. The company also owns Bloomingdale's and opened its third location in the region in September, in Chevy Chase.
