Nordstrom Rack

I want to extend a thank you to the Nordstrom rack staff. I do not live locally but they went above and beyond when I placed a phone order with them to be shipped to a different state. They were friendly, accommodating, and honestly willing to help me. Sharkisa in women’s dept literally found a needle in a haystack for me (one shirt on clearance rack in my size) and was very professional and courteous at the same time. Thank you Sharkisa and Maggie who also helped me!

This place usually has a lot of good stuff. I always find something good in this place for the fraction of the price

This is one of the better Nordstrom Rack locations — it’s very large and for the most part pretty organized (at least it starts out that way…)
I appreciate that this location has less «filler» crap and more stuff that actually graced a Nordstrom store at one point. The usual suspects are here — Kate Spade, Michael Kors, Tory Burch, Coach (
), etc but if you dig hard you’ll find some pretty high end stuff at reduced prices.
Be aware that inventory turns FAST here because it’s a very busy store. My husband had his eye on a pair of shoes, wanted to think it over and came back the next day — gone. So if you want it, best grab it before someone else does.

Pretty decent customer service. Store is well maintained with the exception of a few shoes out of place, but I have a fair experience when I do decide to shop here.

Adorei a loja! Ótimos preços, coisas de qualidade! Fui em uma segunda, não tinha ninguém na loja e consegui ver as coisas com calma!

They have a pretty good shoe selection. The men’s section is pretty good. Suits, jeans shirts etc. The women’s section is ok. It’s a 2 story store. Pretty well organized and orderly.

The store is pretty busy today is last day for anniversary sale. I like the men’s watch selection. Full of hot chicks too lol

Found so many great things and prices are very reasonable. It’s walking Distance from home.
They can alter the clothes there if you wish to buy something that doesn’t quiet fit. The staff was very friendly to me and they helped me out when I didn’t have my Nordstrom rewards card.

Prices are a bit steep for a department store that’s supposed to be discount. But there are some good finds here if you sift through the clearance section. I bought a cute purple skirt for $ 20. I think most of the clothes are good material and would last.
The only thing that irked me was the cashier. I noticed they had a «rewards» card they were advertising at checkout. So I decided, why not? I inquired about it, asking if the rewards card was free, and the cashier said yes. I asked «it’s not a credit card, right?» and the cashier told me it’s not. I decided to go ahead and get one — I already have 10 or so rewards cards on my keychain, what’s one more?
She asked for my general information, which I gave. Then she asked for my social security number. Red flag. I asked her why I needed to provide that, and she told me «so you can shop without your card!» Um, I don’t understand what the big deal is about carrying a rewards card? Or providing a phone number instead? Whatever. Next she asked me for my banking account number — red flag #2. At that point I decided that this is really sketchy. So I said nevermind the «rewards» card and completed my purchase without it.
Today, I looked it up, and turns out they don’t have a stand-​alone rewards card (like Jewel, Dominick’s, etc.). The CREDIT CARD has rewards. I felt that this was very dishonest of her to blatantly lie to me, especially because I asked flat-​out if it was a credit card. Very weird. Buyer beware.

My husband and I visited this location in Chicago when we were in town. It was walking distance from our hotel, nicely located among many other shopping stores along State Street. We came on a weekday morning when it had just opened so everything was very neat and tidy and weren’t too many other shoppers in the store.
We both spend a good amount of time here (at least 40 mins) and I literally looked through the whole shoe section in my size but didn’t find anything to my liking. Nordstrom Rack is really a hit or miss with me — depends on my mood, how busy the store is, how tired I am. I was in the mood with a clean store when it wasn’t that busy but just didn’t find anything worthwhile except my staples at Nordstrom Rack — which are black opaque nylons with the Jessica Simpson brand. I’d recommend this store to at least check out, and would re-​visit if I were ever back in Chicago.

I’m a frequent «looker» at this location; I’m difficult to be converted from a «looker» into a «buyer» since I’m a self-​proclaimed retail genius and a fashionista. In other words, I’m sort of hard to please.
The best time to shop at such retailer is early Sunday morning. Reason? The overnight visual crew has straightened and re-​organized the racks. Clothing is all sorted by size and is color-​coordinated as well. By shopping on an early Sunday morning, you will be shopping at an organized store. That makes you happy, doesn’t it?
The rationale behind my four (4)-star rating is the men’s shoe department. If your feet are like a mini-​boat and have the ability to cruise on the Lake Michigan, this Nordstrom Rack has your sizes! Hubby had a blast looking at tons of choices on size 13. If you’re a man attempting to find shoes, stop by this Nordstrom Rack location before proceeding to other retailers. Most shoes that hubby purchased came from various Nordstrom Rack locations.
Hubby in the end purchased a pair of corduroy pants for $ 30 after tax. They occasionally run the «clear the rack» promotion at or after certain holidays, meaning you can save an additional 25% off, on the lowest ticketed prices, on the red-​tag items. I typically take an advantage to buy something for myself or hubby during that time.

I don’t really buy much here, but they have a decent supply of odds and ends. Socks and underwear can be affordable, and I also have found some great pants here including a lot of stuff from Rag and Bone, which is extremely hard to find and VERY expensive new (I got a pair of pants for $ 28 the other day).
I also love the shoe selection because they carry a lot of really decent brands like Allen Edmonds, Magnanni, Red Wing, Frye (mostly the Mexican and Cinese ones, but a few of the original domestic ones, too), and even the lone Birkenstock. Prices are all over the map, and while I’d love to get a pair of Allen Edmonds for $ 160, I probably wouldn’t pay the $ 200 that they are sometimes marked at– that said, it’s not as though Nordstrom Rack is all «discount» or «clearance» stuff.
I give a fourth star because I generally just like wandering around the store, even on Saturdays when half of Europe is in here, elbowing past you to get to their pair of $ 300 made-​in-​China Uggz– it’s fairly well-​organized and the staff are friendly and helpful.

There are two Nordstrom Racks less than 1 mile away from each other and both have different clothes at each so you need to really shop at BOTH to feel you covered your bases and have gotten the best deals.
The Rack on the Loop was so much fun to shop. The staff in the dressing room were just excited about the deals as the customers. I felt like I was with a bunch of girlfriends. They were honest and didn’t hold back opinions or suggestions. I thought it extremely helpful.
It was very organized and easy to sift through the racks. I bought so much here and spent hours comfortably.
To note, they don’t have a children’s section.
**Minnesota has zero sales tax on clothing; they’ll honor that if you ship. Beats paying the Chicago 11% sales tax. So, whether you have 2 pounds or 20 pounds of clothing, they ship for a flat $ 8 at no sales tax. It’s a no brainer especially if flying.

I don’t live in Chicago, but I plan my itinerary each time I come to involve this Nordstrom Rack. Great finds. I am obsessed with the shoes here. This time around I bought a great pair of Cole Haan wedges and Tory Burch flats. The designer shoe section is among the best I’ve seen at any Rack. Store is clean and organized.

A trip to Nordstrom rack is always an intensive treasure hunt. Depending on how lazy I am, I always shop here or Macy’s, though I go to the former first because it always has the best deals. The men’s section is not very large but when people sift through items, the shirt and tie section can be pretty chaotic. That being said, I love Calvin Klein slim fit shirts, and when I find one I like it tends to be below 40 (I’m used to seeing 60+). The tie selection is great depending on the day; Mondays are where I find my most luck and I can find a decent looking 17 dollar tie with relative ease. Though shopping here can be frustrating at times, the prices can’t be beat.

Okay store but a little more cluttered and disorganized than others. Shoes strewn all over the place and clothes fallen off racks lying on the floor in multiple areas. I know this is more the customer and I usually try and pick them up when I see them but there were way too many.
Selection seemed smaller than most also and signage for sales, sizes, etc. was not super good. Bathroom was not very clean and toilet paper low on many stalls.
I still found some good bargains and certainly left happy with my purchase as it was a great deal but the actually shopping experience good certainly have been better with better customer service, better organization for ease of shopping and locating items.
Coming From a SHOPOHOLIC this has not deterred my shopping at Notdstrom rack yet.

I’ll admit that I haven’t tried very hard to browse because the sea of racks overwhelm me. However, something must’ve come over me yesterday since I spent my lunch hour lost in the shoe corner. Deals galore! With that being said, I will most definitely be returning.
Word of caution: the lines get VERY long so you just have to be patient while waiting to get to the register.

Sweet designer purses when you walk in, sold! I like walking in to a store that I want to purchase everything. This one does that to you. I like the inexpensive makeup kits, the hundreds of designer sunglasses, endless counters of jewelry and that’s just the first floor. One escalator ride and welcome to women’s and men’s clothing and shoes, lots of shoes.
Be prepared to spend some time in this not so expensive yet still worthy merchandise store.

I can’t believe I am writing another review about a department store but this was my favourite place for deals when I visited Chicago.
The selection of men’s clothing as top-​notch and I was able to find my size. One thing with these types of «last run» stores is that you often find the crazy styles that do fine on the catwalk but really not suitable for anywhere else. This was not the case.
I was able to find a couple of basic stripe and check Hugo Boss dress shirts at a very reasonable price and a couple of pairs of sunglasses that were reduced to $ 16 from $ 200.
If I want to compare this place to TJ Maxx or Marshall’s or Winner’s (Canada’s version), this place comes out on top and thus deserves its rating.

I was disappointed by the bra selection at this location, though I am sure savvier shoppers had already pilfered through the true bargains before I got there.
While I like how the Nordstrom Rack is organized, because well… it IS organized, I never seem to find anything that I like that is priced well enough for me to buy.
This location definitely had a great selection when it came to women’s shoes above size 9.5. However, I am not a fashionista, nor am I crazy about designer labels. I’m much more comfortable in TJ Maxx and Marshalls. Not enough clearance for my frugal tastes.

Holy shoes! This place is shoe heaven and the regular selection is pretty good. I wanted to buy myself something nice to mark the end of my youth, I mean twenties, and shoes are always a good idea!
The high end designer section was slim pickins and many shoes were ugly as hell. I found a pair of beautiful Dior peep toe pumps, marked down to $ 230, but they were way too big. I was about to become inconsolable when eyes focused on a pair of purple suede peep toe YSL Tributes. They fit perfect and were marked down to the same price as the Diors. It was a sign!
I’ve been shopping here for years and would give it four stars, but:
–They won’t give you a discount for defected merchandise. The shoes had a tiny scuff and they were the only pair in the system, but the cashier said they are not allowed to give even a 10% discount. Boo
–Not sure if they have a new tailor or the old one is using new methods, but the hemming on jeans is AWFUL. They used to do an awesome job but last time I bought a pair of designer jeans and had them hemmed here, the tailor used that cheap-​ass hemming adhesive… the kind you can buy at Walgreen’s for a few dollars. I could do that myself!
