Nordstrom

Department store chain

Nordstrom is an American luxury department store chain known for upscale clothing, shoes, and accessories.

Founded in Seattle in 1901 as a shoe store, it expanded into a full-line retailer with a reputation for exceptional customer service.

The name appears in discussions of retail, fashion, and shopping: I found these boots on sale at Nordstrom.

Nordstrom Rack is the company's discount outlet division.
