Nordstrom RACK STORE coming to Houston

Nordstrom Inc. is planning to open its first Nordstrom Rack in Houston next year.
“We’ve wanted to bring our Houston customers a Nordstrom Rack for some time and we’re thrilled about this opportunity,” Scott Meden, president of Nordstrom Rack, said in a statement.
The store will be located in The Centre at Post Oak near Post Oak and Westheimer.
Nordstrom Rack is Nordstrom’s off-price retail division offering savings of 30 percent to 70 percent on apparel and accessories for women, men and children. Nordstrom Rack merchandise is made up of products from Seattle-based Nordstrom’s (NYSE: JWN) full-line stores and the company’s online store at Nordstrom.com, as well as special purchase items.
The Centre at Post Oak, owned by Houston-based Weingarten Realty Investors, is located directly across the street from the Houston Galleria and includes tenants such as Marshall’s, Barnes & Noble, Old Navy, Grand Lux Cafe and Morton’s Steakhouse.
Vonn Tran of Weingarten represented The Centre at Post Oak in the lease, and Jan Odom served as associate counsel for Weingarten on the deal.
The newest Nordstrom Rack will be the retailer’s sixth in Texas.
