SEATTLE, April 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Seattle-based Nordstrom, Inc. (NYSE: JWN) today announced plans to open a Nordstrom Rack at West Oaks shopping center in Novi, Mich. The approximately 33,000-square-foot store is scheduled to open in fall 2016. The property is owned and managed by Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust.
When it opens, it will be the fifth Nordstrom Rack in Michigan and will join retailers including Gander Mountain, Best Buy, Michael's, HomeGoods and DSW. West Oaks is located across Novi Road from Twelve Oaks Mall where Nordstrom has operated a full-line store since 2007.
"Many of our most successful Rack stores are located across the street from a Nordstrom store. We have found that both stores really complement each other," said Geevy Thomas, president of Nordstrom Rack. "We're looking forward to being able to serve customers more conveniently with two ways to shop with Nordstrom when we open in Novi next year."
Nordstrom Rack is the off-price retail division of Nordstrom, Inc., offering customers a wide selection of on-trend apparel, accessories and shoes at an everyday savings of 30-70 percent off regular prices. The Rack carries merchandise from Nordstrom stores and Nordstrom.com, as well as specially purchased items from many of the top brands sold at Nordstrom. The Rack is designed to provide the ultimate treasure hunt to style-savvy customers.
"We are very happy to welcome Nordstrom Rack to our West Oaks shopping center," said Dennis Gershenson, president and chief executive officer. "This exciting, best-in-class retailer is certain to expand our shopping center's appeal and dominance in its trade area."
