SEATTLE, Sept. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading fashion
specialty retailer Nordstrom, Inc. (NYSE: JWN) opened the doors to
its new store at The Woodlands Mall today, its second full-line
store in the greater Houston area.
The 138,000 square-foot store features the latest interior and
exterior design concepts, a bistro-style full service restaurant
Bazille, and an updated beauty experience – all new to the
Houston market. The first
Nordstrom store in Houston opened
at The Galleria in 2003.
"We have really enjoyed serving customers at our Houston
Galleria store for the past 11 years, and are looking forward to
offering our customers in The Woodlands a more convenient
location to shop with us," said Kate
Hensler, Nordstrom at The Woodlands Mall store manager.
"We're really proud of the new store – it's the first to feature
our newest design concepts from top to bottom which incorporate
natural light, wood finishes and other modern updates, and we can't
wait to share it with customers."
The two-level store will offer five shoe departments, a
bistro-style restaurant called Bazille, an espresso bar, expansive
cosmetics and accessories areas and a comprehensive offering of
popular brand names for women, men and children. Customers can
expect to find shoes and handbags from popular brands including
Tory Burch, Vince Camuto and Kate
Spade. The women's apparel offering will feature fashion
from emerging designers like Helmut
Lang, Elizabeth & James and
Alexander Wang. Customers will find brands like Chanel, La
Mer, Smashbox, Trish McEvoy, Butter
London, Jo Malone and more in the
revamped beauty department.
Nordstrom at The Woodlands
offers a number of services to enhance the shopping experience.
These amenities include an in-store alterations and tailor shop,
certified bra and prosthesis fitters, complimentary gift boxes and
Personal Stylist – a complimentary wardrobe and shopping service.
The store will also feature two food offerings; Bazille, a
full-service bistro-style restaurant, and the Ebar, which offers
customers handcrafted coffee drinks and grab-and-go food
options.
Opening day kicked off at 8 a.m.
with Nordstrom hosting a Beauty Bash just outside the store's first
floor mall entrance. Customers enjoyed an opportunity to get the
inside scoop on new products and trends from the top names in
beauty—and learn the latest tips and tricks from our team of beauty
experts. In what has become a Nordstrom tradition, the first
customers through the doors were welcomed by more than 350
employees at 10 a.m.
Earlier in the week, Nordstrom underwrote and held a sold-out
opening gala with more than 1,500 guests that raised more than
$200,000 for Texas Children's
Hospital The Woodlands.
