Nordstrom Rack is an American off-price department store chain founded in 1973. It is a sister brand to the luxury department store chain Nordstrom. As of 2023, Nordstrom Rack operates 348 stores in 41 U.S. states.[2]
History
In 1973, the company opened its first store in Seattle as a clearance outlet full-line store.[3] The first Nordstrom Rack location was in the basement of a downtown Seattle Nordstrom store.
Its website was launched in February 2014 by HauteLook, which was acquired by Nordstrom in 2011.[4] The Nordstrom Rack e-commerce site was built on a shared platform with HauteLook, which is Nordstrom's flash sale business.
Nordstrom Rack makes up about a fifth of Nordstrom's overall sales. Since 2013 Nordstrom Rack has generated over 2.5 billion dollars in sales.[5]
