Off-pricer to make New Orleans debut

Nordstrom Rack is coming to New Orleans.

The retailer will open a store at The Outlet Collection at Riverwalk, a development of The Howard Hughes Corporation. The approximately 35,000-sq.-ft. will be the first Nordstrom Rack in New Orleans and is scheduled to open in fall 2016.



Nordstrom Rack will anchor the south side of the new development, which opened in May, 2014. Other anchors for The Outlet Collection at Riverwalk include Neiman Marcus Last Call Studio, Forever 21 and Coach, as well as several other first-to-market retailers.



The center itself is located on the Mississippi River waterfront near the French Quarter and steps away from the Convention Center, Spanish Plaza, Canal Street and the Ferry Terminal, as well as the Port of New Orleans cruise ship terminals.



The new store will be the third Nordstrom Rack in Louisiana following the Nordstrom Rack at the Mall of Louisiana in Baton Rouge which opened October 1, 2015 and the Nordstrom Rack at Ambassador Center in Lafayette, which opens March 10, 2016.
