SEATTLE, July 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- In support of
its growth strategy and continued focus on connecting the physical
and digital shopping experience for customers, Seattle-based Nordstrom, Inc. (NYSE: JWN)
announced today plans to open additional Nordstrom Local
neighborhood hubs in Brentwood and
in Downtown, Los Angeles this
fall.
Nordstrom Locals are one piece of Nordstrom's overall local
market strategy. "Nordstrom is continuing to invest in its growth
strategy with the goal of increasing market share by providing
customers with better and more convenient services and access to
more products," said Ken Worzel,
president of Nordstrom.com and chief digital officer. "Through our
local market strategy, we're combining the scale of our national
infrastructure with our local assets of people, product, and place
to help reimagine the shopping experience for our customers."
The approximately 1,200 square-foot Brentwood location at 214 26th
Street will be among other shops and restaurants in the heart of
the neighborhood. The downtown Los
Angeles location will be situated amid commercial office
towers and business-oriented hotels in the BLOC, located at 700 S
Flower St, and will be approximately 2,200 square feet.
"We're learning a lot from customers through our first Nordstrom
Local store on Melrose and we're looking forward to learning even
more from the addition of the Brentwood and downtown L.A. locations," said
Shea Jensen, senior vice president
customer experiences. "We think there are more ways to serve
customers on their terms and we are looking forward to introducing
Nordstrom Local to customers who live in these neighborhoods."
The first Nordstrom Local test concept opened in October of 2017
on Melrose in Los Angeles.
Nordstrom Local is designed to offer customers access to their
favorite Nordstrom services like onsite tailoring and alterations,
curbside pickup, buy online, pick up in store, easy returns and
more, in a convenient, neighborhood location.
"Nordstrom Local is a welcome addition to our family of premium
retailers at The Bloc. This innovative shopping experience further
elevates downtown's revitalization and The Bloc's role as a leading
retail and entertainment destination within the heart of the city,"
said Dan Cote, General Manager of
The Bloc. "With The Bloc's direct access to The Metro, 33-story
Class A creative office and 496-room Sheraton Grand Hotel,
Nordstrom Local will be a convenient experiential shopping
destination for many downtown residents, workers and
visitors."
