Lexi Bryant, sales associate at Saks.
Terrill Simecki, Opening Ceremony. Writes the woman who nominated him, "He's such a babe, and I have the privilege of waking up to his stinkin' cute face every morning!" (All together now: Awww.)
Sonia Huang, owner of Suite Orchard. We hear fans sometimes send flowers to the store.
Andrew McKenty, Barneys Co-op, Upper West Side.

Next up in our Hottest Shopkeeper contest, two major department stores face off against two downtown boutiques. It's Lexi Bryant of Saks and Andrew McKenty of the Upper West Side Barneys Co-op against Sonia Huang, co-owner of Suite Orchard, and Terrill Simecki, Opening Ceremony sales associate. Terrill has accessorized with a puppy in a tote bag—is that going to be enough to give him the edge?
