| - Let's start off by saying that I am a Nordstrom and Rack shopper (designer stuff only when it's in sale). They have great quality merchandise and staff that are friendly, well trained. The customer service and the return policy make it worth hitting the place at Christmas. Love Nordstrom and LOVE Nordstrom rack, so I was very excited that they were coming to Calgary. Here's my review so far:
1. As always, be careful what you buy as there is some filler merch in here. Actually, there is a lot of it. Perhaps too much, as I found myself thinking "is this Rack owned by Winners?" That was frustrating and I hope some of the brands I saw today will not be returning. For shame Nordstrom.
2. The best deals are always; shoes, purses, fragrances and sunglasses and they were plentiful here. Some very good deals to be had on these items.
3. Work out gear and kids clothing are plentiful as well.
4. There's a bit of housewares and luggage in the back corner.
5. Clothing was hit and miss.
So, all in all some fairly good deals, lots of stock but WAY too much filler merch. I'm looking at you 75 different Calvin Klein dresses and 500 different Ivanka Trump pieces, plus the brands who shall remain nameless, because they can't be purchased in an actual Nordstrom.
I'll give it a few more tries to let them find their footing.
I can't say I got that "Rack" feeling so far. Fingers crossed.
