Not particularly choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-are-getting-a-nordstrom-rack#post-1205987 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 19:34:08 +0000 JAileen 1205987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We're supposed to be getting a Nordstrom Rack - in a year! I'm not sure why they announced it so far in advance or why it's taking so long to set up. The nearest Nordstrom is about two hours away. In winter it's too iffy a drive. I have to mail order everything from them. But shipping is free.</p> <p>BTW, we have Cabela's. I think the quality is good, but if you don't want camo, forget it.</p> <p>Re: different merchandise in different locations, I remember when I was a kid we had two Macy's nearby - the nice one and the discounty one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-are-getting-a-nordstrom-rack#post-1205956 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 18:40:47 +0000 Em 1205956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*We do have a real Nordstrom, and it probably does a ton of business for<br /> the size of our city (since it's the only nice game in town). That's<br /> most likely why the Rack is even coming here.<br /> *</p> <p>Not really... They're just building Racks now. We don't have a Nordstrom, but got the Rack. Nordstrom appears to be extremely conservative with expansion and they might have a point, as far as their own bottom line goes. I was very surprised to read somewhere recently that even a Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus closed one location each. While the news about NM doesn't surprise me that much, I am kind of puzzled that Nordstrom would close. There are certainly some very expensive items there, but there are also some quite reasonably priced ones, and they do go on&nbsp; sale.</p> <p>I also don't like the fact that the same chain stores are quite different depending on location. Phoenix metro has 2 Nordstrom stores - one in Scottsdale and one in Chandler. Since Chandler is closer and more convenient to me, one day I decided to go there, hoping a Nordstrom is a Nordstrom... Well, no! The one in Chandler can't hold a candle to the Fashion Square location in Scottsdale... It's not just Nordstrom, though. Macy's, Dillard's, etc. also have nicer stores, with better merchandise, in the bigger cities and in the more upscale malls. C'est la vie... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-are-getting-a-nordstrom-rack#post-1205885 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 17:35:01 +0000 catgirl 1205885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We do have a real Nordstrom, and it probably does a ton of business for the size of our city (since it's the only nice game in town).&nbsp; That's most likely why the Rack is even coming here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-are-getting-a-nordstrom-rack#post-1205790 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 15:57:42 +0000 Em 1205790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*Don't get too excited. A lot of Nordstrom Rack these days is stuff only<br /> for the Rack that never saw the light of day in a real Nordstrom.*</p> <p>Exactly! I've been hoping for a Nordstrom for many years and I'm starting to resent them. Who do they think they are? If the city can support Louis Vuitton, St. John, etc., we can certainly support a Nordstrom.</p> <p>Sooo, we got a Rack... Before it opened, I was hoping they'd at least carry the leftovers from Nordstrom, which I've seen in other cities. Granted, I've seen a Rack looking like a total mess, but a treasure can still be found there. About 80-90% of the clothes in our Rack are specifically made for it - same deal as the famous outlets many are excited about. You CAN find something interesting among the true Nordstrom items, but those rare gems would usually be in odd sizes and/or colors. Being able to check it out often ups the chances of finding something worthwhile.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-are-getting-a-nordstrom-rack#post-1205771 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 15:37:12 +0000 MsMary 1205771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The best thing about the Rack in my neighborhood is that it's much closer than the "real" Nordstrom, and they will take returns from "real" Nordstrom online.</p> <p>Have fun!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-are-getting-a-nordstrom-rack#post-1205768 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 15:34:57 +0000 rabbit 1205768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you! &nbsp; My theory on off-price retail&nbsp;shopping&nbsp;is that it doesn't matter if 85% of the stock isn't exactly&nbsp;what you looking for, it's not that&nbsp;hard to zero in on the 15% that is the quality&nbsp;you want at the right price. The tags are a good clue.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-are-getting-a-nordstrom-rack#post-1205588 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 12:33:14 +0000 chadya 1205588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>good for shoes, lots of off price stuff, <br />I usually end up looking but rarely buying but I am not a Nordstrom shopper either.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-are-getting-a-nordstrom-rack#post-1205580 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 12:06:38 +0000 April 1205580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY! &nbsp;</p> <p>My local&nbsp;Rack is a "true" Rack that gets its items from the Nordstrom on the other side of the mall. &nbsp;If you don't have a Nordstrom you may not get that benefit, but ANYTHING beats another Cabela's, right? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/we-are-getting-a-nordstrom-rack#post-1205578 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 11:57:59 +0000 pastrygirl 1205578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Even though the clothing options are usually lackluster, the SHOE options are not!
