MANHATTAN’S SECOND NORDSTROM RACK OPENS IN HERALD SQUARE

Seattle-based retailer Nordstrom has opened its second Manhattan branch of its off-price store Nordstrom Rack.

The approximately 47,000-square-foot store occupies three floors of a newly-constructed office/residential tower, owned by the Durst Organization, located at the corner of 31st Street and Sixth Avenue in the Herald Square neighborhood of Manhattan.

The main level of the store features accessories, women’s shoes and checkout and returns. The men’s department anchors the cellar level of the store which also holds luggage, men’s shoes, and kid’s. Women’s and lingerie are on the store’s second level.

Some of the special amenities provided in the store include express mobile check-out, on-site alterations and tailoring, and complimentary wi-fi.

“Having a store near Herald Square  – one of the most iconic shopping destinations in the world – is very exciting for us, and we look forward to offering visitors and residents of New York an additional location to shop with us,” said Karen McKibbin, president of Nordstrom Rack, at the time of the new store announcement in February.

Nordstrom operates 357 stores in 40 states, including 122 full-line stores in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico; 224 Nordstrom Rack stores; two Jeffrey boutiques; and two clearance stores.
