Nordstrom says it will begin accepting applications for 1,000 positions for its Pacific Centre, Vancouver store — it’s third in Canada — scheduled to open in September.

The 230,000 sq. ft. Pacific Centre store will officially open at 10am on Friday, September 18. It’s the third store the Seattle-based retailer has planned for the Canadian market; a 140,000 sq. ft. store at Chinook Centre in Calgary, Albertaopened last September, followed by a 157,000 sq. ft. store in Rideau Centre in Ottawa, Ontario in March. Two Toronto stores — Yorkdale Centre and Eaton Centre — will open in fall 2016 and a third Toronto store will open in Sherway Gardens in spring 2017.
