Nordstrom Rack To Open New Store in Dallas

Seattle-based Nordstrom, Inc. announced plans to open a Nordstrom Rack at Gallery on the Parkway in Dallas, Texas. The approximately 39,180-square-foot store is scheduled to open in fall 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. These items are purchased specially for Nordstrom Rack, with most at savings of 30 to 70 percent off.

Nordstrom currently operates four full-line stores and four Rack stores in the greater Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area. "We're excited to have the opportunity to further grow our northern Dallas presence," said Geevy Thomas, president of Nordstrom Rack. "Our Dallas customers love fashion and we're pleased to offer one more Nordstrom destination in the area."

The new Nordstrom Rack will be conveniently located at Gallery on the Parkway, which is easily accessible from Interstate 635 and the Dallas North Tollway, and is located just one and a half blocks north of the Nordstrom full-line location at Dallas Galleria. The new Rack will occupy the former Christmas Tree Shops space and will join co-tenants Bed Bath & Beyond and buybuy BABY.

"The Gallery on the Parkway, owned and operated by Bed Bath & Beyond Inc., is excited to welcome Nordstrom Rack to this dynamic retail destination and is pleased to add this quality retailer to better serve its Dallas customers," the company spokesperson commented.
