Nordstrom Rack

I can’t pass by Nordstrom Rack without checking it out. I feel like it’s my duty, a second-​nature to browse their selections with high-​expectations every time. And, unfortunately, most of the time I leave empty handed.
If you’ve been to Nordstrom Rack in Cherry Hill, this may be a disappointment. It’s too cramped of a space to house the brands that usually find a permanent home in my closet. I routinely head toward the women’s clothing, in hopes of finding a schnazzy dress or new pair of jeans but I get too overwhelmed by the disorganized displays and end up in the shoe section. Sometimes, not too often, but sometimes I will find a great boot or sandal… but more often than not, I leave disappointed.
It’s truly not the fault of the store, but the lack of space that makes this Nordstrom Rack less appealing than the others.
If you can, it’s worth the voyage across the bridge to Cherry Hill.

Three floors of deals, some are better than others. The men’s selection is kind of limited but they have a pretty good shoe department with Uggs (especially cool discontinued ones) and those butt-​expensive British rain boots that people like. It’s all hit-​or-​miss but keep browsing because you may just find a bargain.

Thrilled that this key retail corner is again occupied, but I will forever mourn the disappearance of Bonwit-​Teller. In any case, this location has a decent mix of goods. I have found that the better Nordstrom Racks are located in close proximity to the regular Nordstroms, such as the Rack in K of P and the one in Troy. I suspect those stores receive a greater percentage of discounted merchandise from their nearby retail brethren. Accordingly, their merch tends to be higher end and better quality.
Nonetheless, treasure-​hunting here is fun and this location is mighty convenient for returns of merch purchased on-​line. Welcome to the neighborhood!!!

All Racks are not created equal. This Rack seems to be more picked over than other locations I frequent. I much prefer traveling over state lines (wink, wink) if I’m going to go to shop.

When it comes to men’s shoes, the selection here is pretty good… If you’ve got big feet, they’ve got shoes up to size 16.
Pricing is all over the place from moderate to expensive.
For me, it made shoe shopping easy. It ordinarily is not such an easy thing to find 14’s that fit well. It can be exasperating to go from store to store trying to find viable shoes. So now that I know Nordstrom Rack has got this big selection, I’ll probably make this store my first stop when I am in a shoe buying mood again.

Three floors, top floor with shoes and second floor with a lot of racks of clothing at steep discounts for high quality designer brands? I’m definitely sold. I can see how a frequent visitor will find this place boring after awhile, as there isn’t a ton of stuff, but it’s the city after all. I moved to Philly recently and had to buy a lot of new clothing, since much of my closet still consisted of cheapo fabrics and the college crowd look of F21 and other chains. I was getting frustrated with all the walking I had to do between different shops/​boutiques on a lengthy hunt just to pick up high quality outfit basics — that is, until I discovered Nordstrom Rack.
Within the first two visits I have picked up many great, good-​looking luxe finds and shoes at incredible prices. Some of the brands even have their respective boutiques nearby, retailing at original prices obviously, so it’s pretty amazing that I can afford wonderful window-​shopping stuff that would normally be out of my price range. Nordstrom rack has really served its purpose as a one-​stop fill all my needs sort of place, and I’m very pleased with the amount of time/​$ it’s saved for me.

Three floors of merchandise is pretty much a shoppers dream. I try to frequent this location simply for the fact they carry high end brands here. It’s in the city and I don’t have to drive far.
Makeup, handbags, accessories, clothing shoes and jewelry… A gal like me could spend the whole day here browsing an shopping through every rack.
Honorable mention, whenever I had a question or needed help with anything; Rhonda and Tynisha are great team members that assist and help with the trendiest watch and sunglass selection.
Overall, this place is an asset to the city. Just wish there were easier parking. Three rounds of driving around and I am out. Lol. Minus a 1 star because I see people trying on the costume earrings and no signs or reps «say no trying on earrings?» Lol. Germaphobic of others trying on earrings and then putting it right back on the shelf. Kinda grosses me out. Put a sign up or wipes or cleaners. I think earrings are things you shouldn’t try on, especially if it’s costume jewelry.
Otherwise, a great shopping experience all the time.

Selection is quite poor compared to most Racks. The layout is rather cumbersome, and clothing is tied up for trying on, meaning you’ve got to work it to flag down an associate to unlock the clothing. Changing rooms are limited.

This placed saved my ass on a Friday morning. I had to get my mom a present and at a somewhat reasonable price– I felt bad putting it on a card that my mom pays for so the cash I had on me was my only resource.
I rushed in there like I was crazy. I looked left than right. What do you get a mom who likes gardening in the city? As my head turns right I see it– the handbag section. She’s been searching for a black bag for a while. If I can find one, I’ll make up for the Mother’s Day I forgot about.
And sitting there, was a very structured black Calvin Klein with gold hardware. I looked it over– no imperfections. Perfect. My day was saved by Nordstrom Rack.

This Rack is three floors. THREE!
It’s clean, staff is pleasant, and the merchandise is awesome. I really don’t understand how anyone can give this a bad rating. If you’ve been to other Nordstrom Racks in the area you definitely should give this more stars. Ya’ll are cray.

Good Rack. Three stories high. Shoes on the third floor ladies and gents. Also free service for shoe stretching, even if they were bought online.
New items weekly and a great location right in front of the 42 bus route.
There’s makeup (including NYX), hair products, clothes, shoes, jewelry and more. I’ve actually had a terrible time finding shoes at most racks (say in CA where they are everywhere but here), but I’ve had so much luck here! Ask the staff of they have it online if not in your available in shoe size in the store. I actually don’t have the same luck with clothes.
Bathroom on the basement floor and one with an access code on the shoe level. This place does the same wonders of a target or a bookstore… a trip to the bathroom required. TMI?
Have a nordstrom card or nordy notes? Use Em here to get your points!
Policy tip: returns on any items, even on clearance. Score!

I jokingly call this place basic b**** central on the weekends. You get an insane crowd of Jersef but also totally reasonable things. It’s kind of weird that I’m sifting through the racks andyites trying to get discount designer and otherwise be annoying. I’m half kidding :)
But, on weekday evenings, this place is quiet and nice to shop at! I love that they have high end beauty products like Bliss and Stila for cheap. They also have Burberry and some really expensive stuf one thing is $ 500 and the next is $ 10. You really have to have patience to look at the clothes but I think for accessories the selection is good and it’s easy to shop.
I’ve seen a lot of Marc Jacobs, Kate Spade, etc.
Lovely addition to Center City apart from Macys and it’s small, but totally serves the purpose. Friendly customer service.

I have stopped into the Rack a couple times now on the way to or from exercise classes. So far, I like the store. The selection is reasonably good, but things are a bit disorganized and I can see how that could get worse as time goes on. A lot of Nordstrom Rack stores seem plagued by messiness and poor organization.
I will say that the shoe section is kind of bleak and depressing, and the clothing sections are really crowded — but I suppose some of that’s unavoidable if you want more items to choose from. I would rather be shopping in an actual Nordstrom, but it doesn’t seem like they have them here in Philadelphia.
The location of this store is great, though, as the downtown really seems lacking in the major department store area. I know there’s a Macy’s, but that particular Macy’s often seems to have been invaded by the People of Wal-​Mart. A moderate to slightly upscale department store is desperately needed, and this is the closest thing I’ve found in the area.
So far, I’ve picked up some great deals on workout clothes, but I haven’t had as much luck with regular clothes. I’ve had good luck at other Rack stores, though, so I’m staying optimistic.

I was so excited that the Rack was coming to Center City– now I can get nice designer clothes at a discount! YES!
I wouldn’t get your hopes up when you come here. Your experience will be way more enjoyable if you come in with the mindset that you aren’t planning on finding anything; when you do, it’ll be like Christmas morning.
The store is gigantic, you would think that you could find something on one of the three floors. It needs to be organized a little better. Clothes and shoes were strewn everywhere. I felt like a tornado had just ripped through the store.
This is a great place to go if you are looking for a gift for someone.

If I could give Nordstrom Rack a negative star rating for their service, it would be done.
I walked in, went straight upstairs and saw a purple, fur vest calling my name. What’s interesting is that, only minutes prior, I was thinking about buying a fur vest. This one looked perfect!
I walked over to it and stroked it. It felt so good! But I didn’t know what type of fur it was, what size it was, how much, etc.
While I’m investigating all of these factors, a «salesperson» and another customer walked over to me and the «salesperson» put her hand on the hanger of the item that I was looking at while she was chatting with the other customer about the item. After a moment, she released the hanger.
I continued looking at the tags. The «salesperson» says, «It’s rabbit, right?» I looked up at her and she repeats herself: «It’s rabbit, right?» I’d forgotten what the fur was and re-​scanned the tag to answer her question: «It’s fox.»
«Oh. Fox.» she said.
The other customer walked away and the «salesperson» said, «Are you buying it?» as she reached to grab the hanger again. I released the item and the «salesperson» swiped it off the rack and raced after the customer, looking above the crowd to try to find her.
I got out of there as fast as I could.
Even when I’ve been followed around a store or ignored by salespersons, I was shown more respect than that «salesperson» showed me at Nordstrom Rack. I will never be back.

Quite simply this store is a bargain shopper’s dream. I have fond memories of hunting through the endless racks of designer labels when this used to be Daffy’s, but after years of watching the building sit empty and depressed I am so excited to see Nordstrom Rack move into center city and bring life to this gorgeous location on 17^th and Chestnut.
The store offers three stores of men’s, women’s, and children’s clothing, shoes, handbags, and accessories. The first floor features men’s clothing, jewelry, handbags, and accessories. The second floor has contemporary women’s clothing, pajamas, and dresses. The third floor has shoes (a separate section for designer shoes). Like Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack has great customer service and a flexible return policy, but receipts are needed. With the quality brands here I have never had an issue with my purchases. Some of my favorite brands featured here include: Theory, BCBG, Paige, Joe’s, Free People, True Religion, Tory Burch, Marc Jacobs, Hunter, House of Harlow, Steve Madden, Rag & Bone, and DVF.

I love Nordstrom Rack, but I was skeptical over the new location in Center City, because I assumed that everything would be picked over by the lunch crowd. Not so, as I was pleased to discover on my visit today.
The store is still very new but I was impressed by the tidiness and selection, especially with regards to the lingerie department. While I will likely favor the Cherry Hill location, it’s nice to have the option to shop the Rack in the city as well.

After waiting with breath that was baited for many months, I finally got the chance to check out this new Nordstrom Rack.
Right off the bat, I was very impressed by the pleasant demeanor of the people working both at the fitting room area on the second floor and the cash registers in the first floor.
There are rolling baskets and double-​handle shopping bags available to carry items around.
The fitting rooms were pleasant: a little on the small size, but equipped with a good amount of hanging space (a bar plus two large hooks to organize your clothes at you try then on) and a flattering mirror (always a plus)!
Unfortunately the store’s offerings were less exciting than expected: no wide width shoes and no petite sizes and few of the more usual Nordstrom brands.
As a side note, I very much enjoy the addition of the staircase to Daffy’s old space: visually expansive and nice that you don’t have to wait for the elevators.

Three floors of discount designer heaven. Welcome to Philly, Nordstrom Rack! I’m excited to have the styles and brands of Nordstrom but at a better price.
Taking over the former Daffy’s space, NR is fairly spacious for a city based store. It doesn’t have the magnitude of Macy’s but they certainly have the necessary staples of a department store.
It was pretty crowded for their preview party and being located across from the Shoppes at Liberty Place, I don’t see the crowds subsiding any time soon. I can’t wait to go back and thoroughly shop the store.

Rack Rack Rack Rack City [Philly]. Went to the opening yesterday and this store is massive!
Men’s, accessories and bags on first, Women’s on second, shoes and kids on third. They have a ton of stuff, great prices, friendly employees and you can check out pretty much anywhere you can find a sales clerk. This was kind of confusing but definitely cut down on lines. There are lots of fitting rooms and those lines moved pretty quickly too!
It’s dangerous that this place is on my way home from work…
