SEATTLE, Nov. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Seattle-based
Nordstrom, Inc. (NYSE: JWN) announced today plans to serve more
Houston-area customers with the addition of a Nordstrom Rack at
Village Plaza at Bunker Hill in Houston,
Texas. The 30,357-square-foot store is scheduled to open in
spring 2014. Village Plaza at Bunker Hill is owned and managed by
Fidelis Realty Partners through a joint venture with Weingarten
Realty Investors.
"We've been steadily growing our presence in Houston and have sought out the best shopping
centers across the area," said Geevy Thomas, president of
Nordstrom Rack. "We hope to
conveniently serve more customers at our new Village Plaza at
Bunker Hill Rack."
Located at Interstate 10 and Bunker Hill Road, the center offers
customers a great mix of grocers, retailers, restaurants, and
services. The center is home to over 50 tenants, including H-E-B,
Academy Sports + Outdoors, Toys"R"Us and PetSmart.
"We are very excited about the addition of Nordstrom Rack to Village Plaza at Bunker Hill,"
said R. Carson Wilson IV, principal
and vice president of Fidelis Realty Partners. "As busy and
successful as Village Plaza has been these past five years, the
addition of a premier, off-price fashion retailer to the merchant
mix will create an even broader customer base, ensuring that
Village Plaza remains one of the busiest and most significant
shopping destinations in all of Houston."
The first Houston Rack store
opened at The Centre at Post Oak in 2010, and the Bunker Hill Rack
will be the third Rack in four years to open in the area. 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.
