Nordstrom to open two full-line stores

Seattle -- Nordstrom said Tuesday it will open two new full-line stores – one in Jacksonville, Fla., and the other in Woodlands, Texas.



The Florida store will open at St. Johns Town Center, a Simon Property and Ben Carter-owned shopping center. The 124,000-sq.-ft. store will be two levels and is expected to open in fall 2014.



"We've had our eye on Jacksonville for a long time, so it's gratifying for us to now have this opportunity to open our doors at St. Johns Town Center," said Erik Nordstrom, president of stores for Nordstrom.



The department store retailer will open its new Texas store at The Woodlands Mall, owned by General Growth Properties and located in The Woodlands.



The two-level, 138,000-sq.-ft. store is slated to open in fall 2014 and will be the company's fourth store serving the greater Houston area.
