New store in town - Nordstrom Rack

okiebug — Thu, 10 Apr 2014 05:29:48 GMT

This afternoon accidently discovered that a Nordstrom Rack store just opened in Tulsa!! It's a very small store, the local TJ Maxx is probably bigger, but it's great because we don't have an outlet mall in the area, It was fun browsing and I found a really nice Sak leather bag I had been looking at on eBags for half the price.

A heads up for any of you in the Tulsa area.

This is one of those stores where you have to have an open mind when you shop ..... You might go in hoping to find a great swimsuit and walk out with a cute white blouse!

I love the Nordstrom Rack stores. Hopefully when Nordstrom opens in Vancouver, BC (probably won't be for at least another year or so) they will also consider bringing a Nordstrom Rack to the lower mainland area as the closest one in the U.S. is near Alderwood Mall north of Seattle. They should put one in the Seattle Premium Outlet mall in Marysville, WA too.

One just opened in San Francisco too. It's very posh, 2 floors, but No bargains there. The prices are almost the same as the regular old Nordstrom right across the street. I will stick to Marshalls, Burlington, Maxx, TARGET. Oh well...

With NR, you have to look for things that have been marked down more than once. I don't care for the NR near me because it's always hot and stuffy -- but it's great for shoes! I think 1/3 of the store is racks and racks of shoes.

I once loved TJMaxx, but I've been disappointed the last few times I was there.

I haven't been to NR in a while because their prices are getting too high for my budget. I used to love buying shoes there, got some fantastic deals. A few years ago I purchased slides by Born. The retail was $99, I paid $15. I got every color I could find in my size. I'm still wearing them.

I used to go to one in Dallas. It was hit or miss. They had some good shoe bargains but a lot of things were really picked over and not good quality.

No Nordstrom or Nordstrom Rack stores around here. Would be nice to have them.

I haven't been there in decades, but the Nordstrom Rack near Sea-Tac is the biggest one I have ever been in--tons of great stuff!

I used to shop at the one in downtown Portland, OR all the time; like any outlet store, it can be hit or miss. There are a couple of Racks in the metro area where I now live, but both are about 30 minutes away so I don't go often.

I am a bargain shopper and I don't think NR is really a bargain shop, but they do have great prices on NYDJ if you like those and shoes are good.

There is a mall near me that has a Bloomies Outlet and Neimans off Price store, when they offer days with %ages off the Rack offers nothing additional. (Bergen Mall)

That is OK, but I don't really shop at Nordstrom either I find it rather staid at least the one near me.

We have one near us & I have never found anything that I like or need! I think the prices are still high. We also have the Saks outlet, even though they closed the store. And I have never found a bargain there either! I still go to TJ Maxx because most of their items are a better bargain although I think since they remodeled the store the stock isn't as good!

If you can find clearance items at Nordstrom Rack, you can get some amazing deals. I scored a 16 oz. philosophy Gingerbread Girl shower gel there recently for $3 and change. NR is definitely worth checking out.

I do shop at the Nordstrom Rack but want to point out that this is not really a outlet for unsold merchandise from The retail store. From what I can see a lot of it is items purchased in bulk specifically to sell at the Rack stores and is not the quality goods you get at a Nordstrom store so you have to shop carefully.

Our Rack is located in the basement of our regular Nordie's, very convenient. they just send all the markdowns right downstairs!!! Not sure but ours may be the only one set up like this.

We have one here in Charlotte. I haven't had much luck there. In fact the inventory is pretty bad. I have a friend who goes and gets good deals. I guess I haven't hit it at the right time.

Me too, a woman at work gets all kinds of things from there. The few times I have went, I found nothing. The one here is kind of sloppy, you really need to have the time and patience to weed through the returns and the rejects to find something. I used to love it when we had a DIllards Clearence Center here. Talk about a great selection and great prices (all first rate condition also, no tears or stained returns)

Yes, I've been to the Nordstrom Rack at the Auburn Supermall as my relatives are in Tacoma but I haven't been there in nearly 2 years. The Alderwood store north of Seattle is closer to I-5 too. Hopefully Canada will get a Nordstrom Rack as there isn't one in Bellingham.
