Off-pricer to make Memphis debut in 2017

Nordstrom Rack is coming to Memphis.



The off-price retailer plans to open a 33,000-sq.-ft. store at Poplar Commons in Memphis, in the fall of 2017. The store is leased from Seritage Growth Properties who is replacing an existing Sears building with a 135,000-sq.-ft. shopping center.



“We're excited to bring our first Nordstrom Rack to Memphis and can't wait to open our doors in 2017," said Geevy Thomas, president of Nordstrom Rack.



The Seritage property is located in east Memphis, directly across from Oak Court Mall. Known as Poplar Commons, the newly developed center will include national retailers, specialty retail and several well-known restaurants. Near-by retailers include Macy's, Dillard's, Target, and Whole Foods.



"We are pleased to announce our sixth lease in our portfolio with Nordstrom Rack, who will anchor a newly built, first class shopping center in this thriving submarket of Memphis," said Benjamin Schall, CEO and president of Seritage Growth Properties.



The Memphis Nordstrom Rack will be the company's second Rack and third store in Tennessee.
