Nordstrom Rack

Nordstrom Rack is the size of a department store in a mall. They are very organized stocked by brand and within the brand stocked by size. There is a high turnover of items at this store so expect something new every visit.
Because it is rack, everything is ‘on-​sale’ from msrp. Take that with a grain of salt. If you spent $ 50 on a $ 100 msrp item, you still spent $ 50.
There is an employee before the cash registers who direct people which register to use. He or she asks if you’re paying with a card and if you want to keep the coat hangers. Alright, cool. The job felt superfluous a la the Unilocal employee who constantly remove my reviews. I hope they bring you joy unlike all the other basic AF reviews before you shift into no-​chill mode.

I work in the spa and wellness industry, where five-​star customer service is non-​negotiable. You either give excellent customer service every single time, or you lose your clients to the competition. So when I walk into a discount clothing merchandiser, and I receive the same level of five-​star customer service I am used to giving, it is deserving of a shout-​out.
I believe the young cashier’s name was Jane, and she was simply awesome. I did not feel rushed when I went to check out, I did not feel judged for fishing around for change while there was a line behind me, and she was very amenable when I needed to split the transaction between my debit and my credit card. I’ve gotten the stink-​eye and the big sigh in other places for just one of these checkout offenses… not here. Not at all.
THIS is why Nordstrom Rack gets my business and my hard-​earned money, even though it is out of my way and not in as convenient of a location as my local Ross, T.J. Maxx, and Marshall’s. Those are all good places, but I want service as good as I give it, and this is where I get that.
Plus the clothes and shoes are freaking amazing. And affordable. ‘Nuf said.

This Nordstrom Rack is located in the plaza with Office Depot and Best Buy. It’s a large space, where they have some hit-​or-​miss handbags and purses (the clearance table was a total mess, and there was one dual-​colored Kate Spade crossbody bag that was cute; otherwise, the other bags were just a hot mess); the accessories were minimal; the makeup section was decent, as they had Caudalie (makeup remover that smelled so refreshing and nice!); the shoes section was underwhelming (but, they had these cute glittery Jimmy Choo kitten heels); and, racks upon racks of clothing (I’m sure if you did enough digging, you can find some great pieces; overall, it was more of the Nordstrom-​brand/​generic brand of tops, but there was one Marni sweater that was of a decent price (but, an ‘off’ color). Check-​out is slightly slow, even with about 6 cashiers on-​site. I highly recommend the one over at Tysons Corner or the Fairfax location for great finds and a better organized selection!

This is a good location for Nordstrom Rack with a decent selection of clothes and shoes. I have generally been able to find a good selection of brands at reasonable price.
They stock has a quick turnaround time, so you get to see new items regularly.
They also have employees walking around the store that can help you with the checkout if the main checkout lanes are too long.

Shoes to die for, amazing bargains to be found. Good customer service. Always leave happy!

This is one of treasure hunting places for me. Every a few months, they have quite some new stuff coming in. The prices are really inexpensives for some pretty good brands. I bought two suits here. The tailor service is good too, also very inexpensive, cheaper than that of Macy’s and Lord & Taylor.
But if you value decent shopping experience more than price, this is not a place for you. Lines at cashiers are usually long. Sales reps are not always helpful.

Nordstrom Rack needs to better train the fitting room staff. They shouldn’t yell at customers trying to show the clothes to another person waiting outside the fitting room. The clothing has security sensors so I don’t know what she was thinking. Not to mention it’s dead of winter and i was trying a t-​shirt and jeans. My coat and purse were still in the fitting room– where did she think I was going?

The store is NOTHING like it used to be. It’s hit or miss on most visits, but the prices for the poor quality clothing have risen steeply the past few years and at this point you’re better off paying the same price at regular Nordstroms or on their website.
Other than that, they do have a wide array of items (including kids and men’s sections) but you never know if you will find treasure or trash.

this Rack is pretty good. They do not have some of the products Columbia’s location offers, which I miss. However, they have a large selection of most categories, including purses, kids clothing, shoes, makeup, and underwear. They also have some great work clothes, although I do not find a lot of athletic wear and have never found any outdoor clothes beyond winter jackets. It is a smaller version of Columbia, so I still prefer Columbia because it offers more choices.

A fan of this Nordstrom Rack store. Discounted prices and I always leave happy. Helpful employees, clean, and neat store.

I’m always optimistic shopping here, but in reality I am a tad too tall and a tad too old for most of the clothing and shoes.
Loads of clothings, pretty neatly racked and not a fuss or a huge line for the changing rooms.
Big wait for cashiers and you need to make sure they remove the ink things that prevent shoplifting.
Shopping center is easy to get into and out of as long as you avoid the Home Depot entrances.
Nice that there’s a Five Guys next door.

Being a fan of Nordstrom, it’s natural to also love it’s discounted distant cousin store, Nordstrom Rack. I’m guessing it’s kind of like an outlet version of Nordstrom because it has some of the brands you see and some probably didn’t sell well at the main store. In any case, my wife seems to ALWAYS find a great deal. I like to roam the shoe section where I’ve found quite a few nice kicks. Of course the women’s section is huge and you get a good selection of kids clothes and shoes as well. What I like about NR is that it’s got great prices and you can sometimes find a jewel. They bring in new items frequently so it feels like a new shopping experience each time. I also like to bring the stroller in there since it has a lot of space to push around a sleeping 3 month old! Also my 3 year old can always find somewhere to hide in the racks. If your a fan of Nordstrom, the Rack ain’t all that bad. You can find good deals if you look hard enough!
The Good:
— great deals if you look hard enough
— they cycle in new stuff frequently
— big space for strollers but that’s more a good for me
The Bad:
— some irregular stuff but still good
— gets real crowded at certain times, mostly weekend and line is long

Omg. Why. Why did I even come here? This is like, the Marshalls of Nordstrom and I have spent entirely too much money just now.
Nordstrom Rack offers designer merchandise at slightly lower prices. You’ll find such things as Burberry leggings for little girls, at the low price of $ 45…the shoes though. The shoes are amazing and there are lots and lots of them, for the whole family.
This was my first time at Nordstrom Rack, and though I’ll be back, it might be awhile.
Gotta let my bank account catch its breath.

This store is kind of hit or miss, and because of the size it really helps to go in with an idea of what you are hoping to find so you can concentrate efforts in that section. That being said, this is pretty much the only store where I can go in person and find items I like for a decent price. While not reliable if you need something in a pinch, it’s great to shop ahead if you can plan it out and find some deals.

There’s a reason why I not only continue to come back here again and again, but also that I have a Nordstrom’s card because of how frequently I shop here. They have everything for my office, gift, to casual needs. The price is ALWAYS right. Do NOT get me started on their shoe section because I could go on and on. It’s a great place to find unique finds for your stems and they have excellent sales a few times a year. Regardless, if you’ve got some time to walk around and try on some items, DO IT! Never walked out of here thinking, «I shouldn’t have stayed as long as I have»…not once. They keep me coming back!

This is a great Nordstrom Rack — lots of quality merchandise and a huge shoe department. There is always a long line but it moves quickly because the cashiers are very efficient.
Despite a decent selection, the shoe area can be a little overwhelming. The dark aisles are very narrow and there are so many stacked shelves of shoes to look through. Still, you can find great brands at discounted prices if you have the patience (and a headlamp! j/​k).

Decided to give another try since its so convenient to my home.
Lucky for me it was 25% off all clearance. I got some really good deals and there were plenty of registers open so the line moved fast.
Can now take 15 items of clothing into the dressing room which is convenient on sale days.
They now put a sign in your cart to keep others from lifting your finds while you are in the dressing room.
Security has learned how to watch the store without invading your personal bubble.
Cashiers very friendly.
Well organized.
Only complaint is the lingerie dept employees are so rude and grumpy. Asked several times where the 34DD clearance bras were and got pointed to racks or told «over there».
Gave up on sale bras but hit the jackpot on Marc Jacobs, DVF, Hudson jeans etc.
My receipt shows I saved 512.52 $ today. Whoot!

This place has it all. Affordable prices, a large selection, quality options, customer service, floating cashiers and a welcoming vibe. The Rack is one of my shopping go-​tos and they always deliver.
Lots of designer shoes, clothes, handbags, fragrances, sunglasses, etc. at a convenient location. The only thing they’re missing is the café. But you can’t have it all for less.
The lines can get long as everyone is looking for a deal. Be sure to scalp out any of the employees for payment at the floating registers.

This location has good finds. Not amazing though. I don’t find a lot of clearance items that are decent bc everything is snatched up before it even goes to sale. Dressing rooms are standard but on the small side. The bathrooms need to be better maintained. I was standing by the dressing rooms and bathrooms and it smelled sooooo bad.
Sometimes they have great makeup finds. They don’t have a ton of nice designer bags. They’re pretty boring and the prices aren’t that great.
The lines are hell on the weekends. Avoid like the plague.
The petite selection is slim and not attractive.
When checking out they can speed it up by checking you out with an iPhone and portable credit card machine.

I got new shoes!
Who got new shoes? I got new shoes. This is pretty much my shoe store. You can find name brand shoes here for half sometimes more off.
It’s amazing They have a clothes section to obviously — and they’ve added/​I havent noticed till now– a little gifts section.
I know I’ve gotten dress pants there and jeans, but not much else. Most of the shirts they have are kinda uggs. Not like uggs the brand. Just uggs.
The selection is much wider for women’s clothing.
But yeah. the shoe section. FANTASTIC! It’s fairly well organized too. I was going through trying to find my section for size — and I saw a shoe there that wasn’t my size… Then I went to my section and found the same shoe there in my size… Yeah– I know you want me to stop talking about my shoes.
I also bought my mom a purse there. Kate Spade. Originally it was like 500 and it was marked down to 150.
It was a christmas and birthday present — I don’t ball that hard. Most of the time :).
