It's a luxury store, with its most recent surviving locations in upscale downtown shopping avenues or tony suburbs, on the east coast & midwest. If you're not in those cities and target market, it's not surprising, but many would recognize them as a peer of Neiman Marcus (also in bankruptcy this year) & Saks Fifth Avenue (on brink of bankruptcy).
As you've misspelled 'Sachs' & didn't even mention the paragon of American department stores, Macy's, I'm guessing you're of a generation or region where they've been far less important. But before Amazon, & before the WalMarts & Targets, retailers like Macy's (brink of bankruptcy), Sears (bankrupt 2018), & JC Penney (bankrupt this year) were giants of retail through the mall era.
