Chester County is getting its first Nordstrom Rack, and it’s opening sooner than you might expect.
Nordstrom Inc. has announced the off-price retailer will open at Main Street at Exton on Aug. 20.
It’s the first of roughly 10 new Nordstrom Rack locations that will be launching across the Northeast this fall.
For local shoppers who have made the trek to King of Prussia or crossed into Delaware, the wait is almost over.
The new store will span approximately 30,000 square feet at the busy Route 100 shopping center.
It joins a tenant lineup that includes Barnes & Noble, Michaels, Sephora, Athleta, Old Navy, and Banana Republic.
Exton is one of two new Pennsylvania locations as a second store is set to open Oct. 29 at the Promenade at Granite Run in Media.
Nordstrom Rack offers discounts of up to 70 percent on a range of items, from brands like Nike and Adidas to higher-end labels including Prada, Gucci, and Burberry.
The inventory covers apparel, shoes, handbags, jewelry, beauty products, and select home goods.
“We look forward to being a part of the Exton and Media communities and serving our customers with an amazing offering of great brands at great prices,” said Gemma Lionello, President of Nordstrom Rack, in a statement. “We’re excited to grow our footprint in these regions and introduce new customers to the Nordstrom experience.”
Shoppers can pick up online orders from both Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack at the Exton location.
Additionally, returns for either retailer can be processed in-store.
Ahead of the opening, Nordstrom is hiring for sales, cashier, and stock positions, with the company noting opportunities for internal advancement.
For Main Street at Exton, the addition is the latest in a string of moves aimed at keeping the center competitive in a changing retail landscape.
David Wolfson, Director of Operations for Wolfson Group, which owns and manages the property, said the new tenant fits a strategy.
“The addition of Nordstrom Rack reflects our ongoing commitment to offering the community dynamic and elevated retail options,” Wolfson said. “Known for exceptional value and on-trend style, Nordstrom Rack is a fantastic addition to our tenant mix, development, and the community.”
The Exton opening is part of one of Nordstrom Rack’s most active regional expansions in recent years.
When the doors open on Aug. 20, Chester County will have one of the most popular bargain locations, and shoppers won’t have to leave the county to find it.
