Nordstrom is making a bigger push into Manhattan.
In addition to the seven-story flagship store Nordstrom plans to open near Columbus Circle in the fall — upscale department store chain is adding two smaller outposts in the West Village and Upper East Side.
The two smaller stores will be for online pickups and returns and will not carry merchandise. They will also have services like tailoring and personal styling. The West Village location will be located at the Rudin Family’s and Eyal Ofer’s Global Holdings Group’s The Greenwich Lane. Nordstrom has signed a 2,413 square-foot lease at 13 Seventh Avenue.
The new locations add to the push that Seattle-based Nordstrom has been making in New York after decades of holding off. The city is the retailer’s biggest market for online sales. By the end of 2019, there will be six locations in Manhattan: the flagship, which will include women’s merchandise; the men’s store; two Nordstrom Racks; and the two Local hubs.
