SEATTLE, Aug. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Seattle-based Nordstrom, Inc. (NYSE: JWN)
announced today plans to continue to grow its Houston-area presence
with the addition of a Nordstrom Rack at Baybrook Square in
Webster, Texas. The approximately
31,000-square-foot store is scheduled to open in spring 2015.
Baybrook Square is managed by Fidelis Realty Partners.
When it opens in 2015, the Baybrook Square Rack will be the
fourth Houston-area Nordstrom Rack.
In July the company announced plans to open a third Rack location
at Willowbrook Mall in fall 2014.
Nordstrom first came to Houston with a full-line store at The
Galleria in 2003. The company will open its second Houston
full-line store at The Woodlands Mall on September 5, 2014. The first Houston Rack store opened at Centre at Post Oak
in 2010 followed by the 2011 opening of a Rack at Market at Town
Center.
"We want the Rack to be Houston's destination for great fashion
at great prices," said Geevy Thomas, president of Nordstrom Rack. "We've been focused on finding
excellent locations across the area, and we're thrilled to be
opening a store at Baybrook Square."
Nordstrom Rack is the off-price
retail division of Nordstrom, Inc., offering customers a wide
selection of on-trend apparel, accessories, and shoes at an
everyday savings of 30-70% off regular prices. The Rack carries
merchandise from Nordstrom stores and Nordstrom.com and specially
purchased items from many of the top brands sold at Nordstrom. The
Rack provides the ultimate treasure hunt to style-savvy
customers.
The new Nordstrom Rack will move
into the space currently occupied by DSW, which is relocating
within the center. Located at the southwest corner of Interstate 45
and West Bay Area Boulevard, Baybrook Square serves customers in
the Clear Lake area of Houston and the surrounding southeast
suburbs. The approximately 295,000-square-foot center has over 30
tenants and is home to a mix of retailers including Old Navy, DSW,
Marshalls HomeGoods, Sun & Ski Sports and Office Depot.
"Fidelis is delighted to add an energizing anchor like
Nordstrom Rack to our Baybrook
Square Center. They are a familiar brand with a strong fashion
offering that is needed for this demographic area," said
Lynn Davis, Principal and Chief
Marketing Officer.
