Seattle-based fashion retailer Nordstrom, Inc. announced plans to open a new Nordstrom Rack in Lake Grove, NY in fall 2025.

"We look forward to being a part of the Lake Grove community and serving our customers with an amazing offering of great brands at great prices," said Gemma Lionello, President of Nordstrom Rack. "We're excited to grow our footprint in the New York market and introduce new customers to the Nordstrom experience."

Lionello added that in this location "customers will be able to take advantage of our convenient services such as online order pick up from both Nordstrom.com and NordstromRack.com, and they can make returns easily." 

The 25,000 square-foot store will be located in Smith Haven Plaza, a popular shopping center that includes a Trader Joes, Old Navy, Athleta, Ulta Beauty, Men's Wearhouse, and more. Smith Haven Plaza is owned by Breslin Realty & Colin Development and is located on NY State Route 347, between Moriches Road & New Moriches Road.

"We are very excited to welcome Nordstrom Rack to Smith Haven Plaza in Lake Grove, NY, and share their confidence in this location," said Robert Delavale, Breslin Realty Development Corp. Vice President & Director of Leasing. "Smith Haven Plaza has the co- tenancy that Nordstrom was seeking in the market to complement their strong brand reputation and loyal customer base. We look forward to their addition to this busy shopping center and the enhancement they bring to our existing dynamic retail mix."

Nordstrom Rack is the off-price retail division of Nordstrom, Inc. and plays a critical role in the company's Closer to You strategy, which focuses on delivering customers a more convenient and interconnected experience across its stores and digital platforms.
