What is Nordstrom Rack?
Nordstrom Rack serves as the discount store for Nordstrom, where unsold or surplus inventory from Nordstrom is sold. This explains why prices at Nordstrom Rack are significantly lower. Since its creation in 1973, known as “The Rack,” the chain has expanded its presence to over 75 locations across the United States.
History of Nordstrom
Nordstrom began its story in 1901 as a shoe store founded by John W. Nordstrom, a Swedish immigrant who arrived in Seattle with just five dollars. Decades later, in 1971, the company went public and officially adopted the name Nordstrom, Inc.

Two years later, in 1973, the first Nordstrom Rack opened in the basement of its Seattle store as a clearance space for merchandise from its main stores. Today, the chain has become a fashion leader, offering clothing, shoes, and accessories for men, women, and children.
Its portfolio also includes more than 200 restaurants, such as specialty coffee shops, grills, and Habitant bars, along with a catalog of over 10 in-house brands designed by its internal design team.
In May 2025, Nordstrom ceased to be publicly traded after finalizing a $6.25 billion acquisition deal, led by the Nordstrom family together with the Mexican retailer El Puerto de Liverpool. As confirmed in December 2024, the family retains majority control with a 50.1% stake, while Liverpool owns the remaining shares.
Why did Nordstrom close stores?
According to the company, the closures in St. Louis and Santa Monica, which took place in August of this year, aim to provide better service to customers in each region by focusing on nearby stores and digital channels. Following the closure announcement, Nordstrom committed to supporting its employees during the transition, including assistance for those interested in finding other positions within the company.
How many Nordstrom stores are there?
Currently, the department store operates a total of 116 locations in the United States and Canada.
