Off-pricer to make Canadian debut

Nordstrom continues to expand north of the border.



The retailer announced that its Nordstrom Rack off-price division will open its first Canadian location, in Toronto, in 2018.



The 38,600-sq.-ft. store will be located at One Bloor in Yorkville, on the southeast corner of Yonge Street and Bloor Street, a well-known shopping district in Toronto. It will be approximately one mile north of the Nordstrom full-line store, which is scheduled to open in September 2016 at CF Eaton Centre.



Nordstrom first announced plans to expand to Canada in 2012 and to date has opened three full-line stores: CF Chinook Centre, in Calgary: CF Rideau Centre in Ottawa; and CF Pacific Centre in Vancouver on September 18, 2015.



The company will open three additional full-line stores in the Toronto area including CF Eaton Centre on September 16, 2016, Yorkdale Shopping Centre on October 21, 2016, and CF Sherway Gardens, in fall 2017.
