SEATTLE, Oct. 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading fashion
retailer Nordstrom, Inc. opened the doors to Nordstrom the
SoNo Collection today, the company's second full-line store in
Connecticut. The three-level,
140,000 square-foot store features the latest store design, a
brand-new service concept, a new beauty and wellness experience,
and a comprehensive offering of clothing, shoes and accessories for
the entire family. The first Nordstrom store in Connecticut opened at Westfarms Mall in
Farmington in 1997.
The company's newest store design concept includes lighter
fixtures, more windows and natural light that connect the shopping
experience to the outside world. The goal was to create spaces
where customers want to spend their leisure time, to encourage a
sense of discovery for new brands or styles they haven't tried
before.
Women's apparel features fashion in a variety of price points
including of-the-moment brands like rag & bone, Veronica Beard, FRAME, and Saloni; designer
brands including Missoni, Carolina
Herrera and Oscar de la
Renta; and exclusive and limited distribution brands like
Madewell, Topshop and more than 35 Nordstrom Made labels. In shoes,
customers can find everything from Nike to Doc Martens to Christian
Louboutin, including several Nordstrom Exclusive styles from
Valentino, Prada, Golden Goose and
Givenchy. The store also has four specialty handbag boutiques
including Chloe, Longchamp, Givenchy and
Mansur Gavriel.
Customers will also find the retailer's latest beauty concept
Nordstrom Beauty Haven, which highlights wellness, haircare and
beauty tools with top trending brands and services to pamper
customers from head-to-toe – whether they have 30-minutes or three
hours. Services include:
- Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Suite: A boutique brow
experience with experts trained to reshape and sculpt using the
Anastasia method.
- Base Coat Nail Salon: Featuring manicures and pedicures
using plant-based and mostly chemical-free products.
- Light Salon: This light bar service brings convenient
and effective five to sixty-minute treatments to customers using
the latest LED technology. The facial bar offers various treatments
ranging from spot treatments to peels.
Additional beauty brands include dedicated boutiques by Chanel,
Atelier Cologne, Diptyque, Jo
Malone, and Kiehl's, as well as Charlotte Tilbury, Sulwhasoo, Arcona, Herbivore,
Kopari and La Mer.
Men's Shoes and clothing include designer brands like Ksubi,
Norse Projects, and Christian
Louboutin, as well as Madewell
Men, Patagonia and Topman, to name a few. The Kid's Wear
department features Tucker + Tate, Miles Baby and Mini Boden, and
the store also has an At Home department, a full-service
bistro-style restaurant Bazille, and Ebar, for artisan coffee and
snacks.
"We're eager to welcome customers to showcase our latest store
design and some of the company's most exciting new beauty and
service concepts, in addition to great fashion at a breadth of
price points," said Molly Carmody,
Nordstrom the SoNo Collection store manager. "We can't wait for
customers to experience the best of what we have to offer and look
forward to welcoming them right here in Norwalk."
As the retail landscape continues to evolve, Nordstrom is
looking to make shopping in-store and online a seamless experience
that's easy, convenient and serves customers on their terms. The
answer? A new service concept called Express Services, launching at
Nordstrom the SoNo Collection for the first time. This new
department features a dedicated 2,700 sq. ft. area where customers
can pick-up online orders, try them on, issue express returns and
access in-store alterations and tailoring services all in one
place. Additional services include Curbside Pickup, complimentary
Personal Styling, bra and prosthesis fitters, and more.
Opening Day kicked off at 8 a.m.
with Beauty Bash – a high energy beauty party – just outside the
store's SoNo Collection mall entrance. Customers enjoyed a preview
of the store's exciting cosmetics selection as well as one-on-one
time with Nordstrom beauty experts who provided inside scoop on
fall beauty trends. More than 320 employees welcomed customers when
the doors officially opened at 10
a.m.
The night before opening, Nordstrom hosted Nordstrom Night Out –
an opening party that raised more than $80,000 for Fairfield
County's Community Foundation and Domestic Violence Crisis
Center. More than 1,000 guests were in attendance to experience an
exclusive preview of the new store while enjoying cocktails,
gourmet delights and desserts; entertainment from artists DJ
Alkimist, Boutique Jazz and DJ Ian Wallace; fall fashion
presentations and an opportunity to shop the season's best
looks.
At the end of the month, Nordstrom the SoNo Collection will be
joined by Nordstrom NYC – the company's first flagship store in
New York City, opening
October 24. The Men's Store NYC
opened in April of 2018.
