Seattle-based Nordstrom, Inc. announced today plans to open a new Nordstrom Rack at Arborland Center in Ann Arbor, Mich. The approximately 30,000-square-foot store is scheduled to open spring 2013.

Nordstrom Rack is the off-price retail division of Nordstrom, Inc., carrying on-trend merchandise from Nordstrom stores and Nordstrom.com at 50 to 60 percent off originAl Nordstrom prices. Nordstrom Rack also offers a wide selection of apparel, accessories and shoes from many of the brands carried in Nordstrom stores.

The new Nordstrom Rack will be located at Arborland Center, an existing power center conveniently located in southeastern Ann Arbor between the University of Michigan and Eastern Michigan University. The new store will join anchor tenants Bed Bath & Beyond, DSW, Marshalls, Ulta and Old Navy. Arborland Center is owned and managed by AmCap, Inc.

The new location will be the retailer's third Rack store in the state of Michigan. Additionally, Nordstrom operates three full-line stores in the area.
