Nordstrom Rack says hello to St. Louis

SEATTLE, Wash. Seattle-based Nordstrom announced plans to open its first Nordstrom Rack store in St. Louis. The 34,000-square-foot store will be located in the Brentwood Square shopping center and is expected to open in fall 2010.

The new Brentwood Square Nordstrom Rack will be located between Borders and Whole Foods as part of a retail center that also includes R.E.I., The Container Store, Arhaus and Pier 1 Imports, among other tenants. St. Louis-based Pace Properties is the owner, manager and leasing agent for the property.

"We're looking forward to opening our doors to customers and offering them what we hope they'll agree is an impressive selection of name-brand merchandise at significant savings," said Scott Meden, president of Nordstrom Rack.
