Seattle-based fashion retailer Nordstrom, Inc. announced plans to open a new Nordstrom Rack in Houston in spring 2025.
"We look forward to opening this new location in the Houston market and continuing to serve 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 Houston 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 30,000 square-foot store will be located in Westchase Shopping Center, a popular shopping center that includes Whole Foods and Target. Westchase Shopping Center is owned and managed by Kimco Realty and is ideally located on Westheimer Road near the Sam Houston Tollway.
"We are delighted that Nordstrom Rack is joining Westchase Shopping Center," said Andrew Bell, Vice President of Leasing for Kimco's Texas Region. "Their iconic brand and high-quality fashion will be an excellent addition to the offerings at our center."
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. Nordstrom Rack offers customers up to 70 percent off on-trend apparel, accessories, beauty products, home decor and shoes from many of the top brands sold at Nordstrom stores as well as core services like online order pickup for Nordstrom.com and NordstromRack.com, easy returns and alterations at select stores. Nordstrom Rack is the largest source of new customers to Nordstrom.
In addition to this new location, Nordstrom will also be opening another two locations in San Antonio and Houston this fall. These new locations expand the company's physical footprint and economic impact in Texas. It currently operates eight Nordstrom stores and 21 Nordstrom Rack stores in Texas, generating approximately 4,000 jobs statewide.
Nordstrom is committed to investing in the diverse communities where it operates. Over the past four years, Nordstrom, with its customers, has donated more than $2 million in support of its long-term partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters of the United States. These proceeds support the recruitment, training and engagement of adult mentors and mentorship moments between Bigs and Littles, including preparing for an interview, learning to tie a tie and helping with homework.
