Nordstrom Rack

I always have a good experience when I visit this location. On my previous I had some items altered, I was under the impression that they would be sent to me with no charge, I think I may have thought that because full line does. Either way, my mistake. I was planning on making time to stop by the following weekend, even though I really wanted to wear my new clothes asap:) I received a call from Allie, she said she lived in Woodland and could bring my items to my house! I called back and said my workplace was right off the freeway. Allie brought my items to my workplace! I am so appreciative of this, and I’m not going to expect this every time I have items altered but it was really impressive! Thanks Allie!

For this location at the Arden-​Arcade neighborhood in Sacramento, Nordstrom Rack has it all by bringing their collections of clothes, shoes, accessories, home products, and more at an incredible half-​price! I’ve quite gone to this location for sometimes after I enjoyed coming to the Roseville location many times, but for this one is sometimes hit and miss for me, but I did found some good deals that I want to buy. The atmosphere and the concept remain the same as most Nordstrom Rack has across the U.S. although it’s quite small inside which minimal amount of available products every daily.
The employees are doing a fine job for making the customers like me a great service. No cons at all.
Every aisle in the store as I mentioned earlier is a mixed bag here. Sometimes, clean and tidy, yet quite messy and unorganized here like the shoes for instance which I can’t find some good shoes to buy if I’m interested to own. I’m sure they need to reorganized the shoes daily to make the customers more reliable to shop easier without the mess. The rest of the aisles are much organized well which I did found a great casual shirt that I brought few years ago. Yes some items cost expensive, but it’s worth the value and style to own.
There’s plenty of parking available, so you can park anywhere you want near or far.
In the end, Nordstrom Rack at the Arden-​Arcade is a good national half-​discounted department store that I’ve enjoyed shopping the most no matter if any items are quite attractive and interesting to appeal. A well, worthy visit. My rating: 4 solid stars.

I have been coming to the Rack for years. I think the Rack is always such a hit or miss for me, sometimes you walk away spending way too much money and at times nothing. But I really do love the Rack, they have the latest items and it’s a great place to just browse. The staff here are all pretty nice, never had a bad experience here.

The opportunity to stand in line for an hour is not welcome but the wait is well worth saving hundreds on pants that are just the same as you’d buy at the mall for double. Saving money costs time and this is proof it is worth your wait. NYDJ are awesome here!

About a month ago, i came through this area on the way home from checking on a relative. I knew what i wanted but not sure if they still carried the brand (fashion is all about IN s & OUT z). I prefer a bit of functionality (& comfort) to my choice of stuff. WOOHOO… they still have The Bag (Le/​La Sac). I almost grabbed three, never knowing if they’ll still have them the next time i chance by the area! These are my rainy /​non-​backpack day bags (when you don’t want to lug 9 lbs± around). The sales person was a sweetie also, she helped me say no to one & then find my account (don’t carry a ton of cards, that adds to the 9 lbs)…

I need to come here more often. They have a lot of nice/​cool things I would have never thought of to come here for. They have a make up compartment with a bunch of NYX stuff! They have a home and room compartment with a bunch of cute (and vintagy) stuff. I found a really cute mug that I just had to get. They also had a bunch of cool Moscow mule mugs that I held off on getting. I need to stop hoarding on things I don’t need. They had these cute lights for room decorating, and ring holders and frames. They even have miscellaneous things by the checkout, like Kate spade iPad covers, phone chargers, mini instax cameras!
The only thing is, I can not really shop for clothes here. I feel like it’s unorganized most of the time and you really have to be patient to look through the racks. But I’ll be here anytime to browse through their jewelry, shoes, and misc things!

Stay away from this store! You will be waiting and waiting and waiting in this long line. And no one cares. Truly shameful!!!

I want to love this Nordstrom rack, I do. I always come here to check out the accessories like the Shinola watches since they are much cheaper here than at the full-​price store. I came here today and spotted a gorgeous Shinola watch and I was so desperate to try it on. Unfortunately, there was no one around to help me. So much for the «team in green» nonsense. I asked a lady who was putting away the «go-​back» clothes to call someone to help me, she did, twice. And so I waited another 20 – 30 mins but no one came over. I had to ask the SAs by the register (by the way, ALL of the associates were at the other side of the store, 6 of them by the registers, one by the men’s section, a few by the shoes, etc) to help me. I waited once more, another 10 mins… Sigh, I was getting impatient and frustrated. How hard is it for these numb nuts to get the damn key from the busy SA and help me for 5 minutes? Gimme a fudging break!
I don’t know, the last time came here a few weeks ago, I always see 2 – 3 sales associates in accessories, but today there were 0. I saw so many customers looking at the locked-​up watches and purses but it’s so irritating no one was nearby to help us. I left the store empty-​handed. I think I’ll save up some of my money and just buy the full-​price watches at Nordstrom instead. This crappy Rack location with their lazy SAs have lost my business.
Maybe it’s time to give these people yellow shirts to signify how incredibly slow they are. At least the Roseville store, there is always an SA nearby who helps you. Not this place.

I dunno. I have been here many times. I always go in with a positive vibe but I’m just not lovin’ it.
The prices seem a bit high for a store I have to dig through like Marshalls or Ross. I did manage to find a couple of things to buy for gifts but when I went to check out the line was really long so I just left w/​o buying anything. 3 stars cause they do have a lot of everything. The men’s department had a great selection of dapper duds.

For men’s dress clothing absolutely as good as it gets for what it is. A bargain hunter dreamland with a wide variety of quality brand names. The real gems can be hidden and It can take multiple visits over time to get just the right items, still it’s worth the effort. I’ve been a rack shopper for many years.
Back in the day I worked in the bay area for a couple firms that required suits on a daily basis. At first I opted for a couple of the bargain suit purveyors. To anyone who’s purchased a couple or more suits you are familiar with these stores (I guarantee it). They run the spectrum from very entry level suits that lack style and durability to middle of the road suits that have marginally upgraded materials, style and craftsmanship. Then I found out about the Rack and it all got so much better from there. I went from paying, with alterations, $ 300+ for a suit to paying mostly at $ 500 — $ 700 (for suits that commanded $ 1,000 — $ 1,500 and up). I became a big fan of Hickey Freeman and seek those out above most all others. I believe the suits end up at the Rack for several reasons. I have run across suits that were altered and for whatever reason were not sold, suits that were from a season before or were no longer in a quantity viable to display at the main store. The brand name, in most cases, when it comes to suits are indicative of a superior product across the board. Well worth the added expense. All the more worth it if it’s your daily uniform which is where I most appreciated the difference.
Shoes are hit and miss with selection but the amazing bargains are often there to get a several hundred dollar pair for about a hundred. Nothing better for the feet than a nice pair of comfy shoes. Dress shirts are always in plentiful supply and can be a tad pricey but again worth the extra dollars, for style, craftsmanship and quality, over other purveyors of dress shirts. For some reason the Rack seems to come up short for me when it comes to ties. On my latest visit it was much improved.
As noted in other reviews, buyer beware. the Rack also has its own line of clothing that never sniffed the floor of anywhere but the Rack and had the sole intent of being sold right were you found it. I don’t have issue with this but have found this line to be of a lower quality (and a commensurate lower price).
Finally a mention of the staff. I’ve had some hit and miss around the store but the group back in the men’s department offer exceptional service and the tailoring, done on site, is extremely well done. If you’re paying by credit card they can ring you up right there and you can avoid the lines, which are often long, at the front of the store.

The store for basic bitches who are too good to shop at Ross.
This store is SUPER disorganized, dirty, and yet overstaffed. Another customer trying on shoes accidentally set off an alarm and none of the 3 – 4 employees withing sight of her stopped to help. So many of the staff were «busy» pushing go-​back carts with one or two items in them. I get that entry employees need to be guided somewhat, but no one was watching them, apparently. Only one cashier was working. At least at Ross, you’ll be greeted by someone when you enter, even if he is the security guard making sure you don’t steal anything.
There is no real organization to speak of, just mile-​long racks of clothes loosely organized by size. I went in to buy a pullover, but left without one because I was not willing to sort through t-​shirts, jeans, skirts and dresses in roughly my size to find it, at least not for the faux Arden-​Arcade «status» symbol of having shopped at The Rack.
If I want to dig through semi-​organized leopard-​print nonsense, sequins and overstocked «active wear,» I’ll go to Ross.

Love this store! Nordstrom Rack is so great because you can find quality designer brands here for a fraction of the price of the department store!
Unlike places like Ross, Nordstrom Rack is very well organized. I can almost always find my size right away and I love that they have a lot of multiple items. Meaning, they don’t just have 1 Michael Kors shirt in xxs, they usually have multiple in a variety of sizes.
I have never left this store empty handed and I almost always feel like I got a great deal! I have found so many great additions to my closet here and it is definitely my go to place.
They have purses, Michael Kors, my favorite designer at the moment, and many many others. I have found Hunter Rain Boots here for about 30% less than retail. If you know Hunter boots, you know that is a great deal! Needless to say they have a huge shoe portion of the store so kids and adults. You’ll find DC, Nike and converse along with some higher end brands. Nordstrom Rack also has a section for men. Half priced Calvin anyone?
Basically, this place is awesome and you should check it out!

There’s always tons of good stuff to look through here, I love this place! It’s a good way to get the brands you love from Nordstroms at a fraction of the cost. Anyway, on this particular day I was returning something that I had actually ordered from their website which didn’t fit quite right in person. The whole process was very quick & easy. It was a relief not to have to deal with mailing it all the way back to whatever warehouse it came from & having to wait for the money to process back onto my card. This way it was all done right there in a matter of minutes. Overall very good experience with this place & the return of my online order!

While in town on business I went to this store. I bought a pair of cole Hahn sunglasses on sale for 34.97 (compare at 125.00, right?) before the sun went down that same day the screw came out of one lens so it was hanging by one screw. I was on business and left that city and went to a city that didn’t have a Nordstrom. I called because I wanted to return these and get my money back but they said I had to personally go into a nordstroms for that. Unfortunately there’s none in Wichita? Ks where I live. So I got cheated out of 35.00!Shoddy merchandise!!!’ I didn’t realize I was at the Dollar Store.

I stopped by at the Nordstrom recently… it was absolutely lackluster. The jewelry section hasn’t changed. It looks like they have the same items from last year. It’s hard to find nice and professional custom jewelry anymore. They just don’t look appropriate. Most of them look like toys. Disappointing.
The luxury bag section. It just doesn’t look luxury at all. The Burberry, Alexander Wang, Balenciaga, Valentino looks uninspiring. *sigh*

Love shopping at The Rack! It’s like treasure hunting for women (ok and maybe some men)
Always getting new things in every week and that where I get into a little trouble and my card gets a workout. The only gripe I have it they keep the racks of clothes a we bit messy and the shoe isles have shoes all over the damn floors. So if your going for shoes, make sure both are the same size: l

Shoes shoes shoes! Everything is on sale! This is a great place to come for people who love impulse shopping! Everything is usually about 20−60% off of what you would get it for at Nordstrom!
The only downside is that the place very in organized so you have to be willing to dedicate a few hours to it in order to find the best stuff!
They have shoes, makeup, hair care, accessories and tons of other awesome stuff! This place is always happy shopping!

I seriously LOVE browsing here & it’s HARD not to leave with something. I always end up with something. The line does get long, but they usually have a lot of cashiers open, so the line goes smoothly. They also have people with green tshirts on that can check you out with your item, but I did that recently & it took 20mins & I still wasn’t next, so I went into the regular line & it went smoothly. The great days are when they have clearance at a additional % off! LOVE IT!
The cashiers are really nice, & knowledgeable. Once my item didn’t have a tag & BOOM, she made one in a jiffy. 1 less start because of the parking lot. YIKES!

I used to faithfully come to this store at least a couple times a month while I was working. Now that I am retired it is a different story.
However I do have good things to say about this store. I feel if you are looking for good deals you can find them because the prices can be exorbitant at Nordstrom’s store itself that the Rack does take as much as 70% off. I think that is really worth it
especially if you find it on the clearance rack as well; then you better go for it because it won’t be there the next time you look.
I do have a Nordstrom’s card that if you shop here regularly & use the card; you would rack up points. After a certain amount they would send you a check for like twenty dollars for your next visit. There are certain days where you can earn double or even triple points rewards. I think this weekend happen to be double rewards so rush down there and shop! They do get busy on the weekends! So does their parking lot.
I happen to like this Nordstrom Rack location better than the one in Roseville. It just seems junky to me at the one in Roseville. That’s fine as I live in Elk Grove anyway.
I have been to the one in San Francisco which is different levels (what’s up with that?)
and the one on Oahu by Waikiki. I do like the Hawaiian one probably because it’s more laid back; sorry for the pun.
Anyway what are you waiting for & hurry down to the Rack to shop! They had some cute things that I had to turn my head and walk away!!!

I can’t stop myself from coming to Nordstrom Rack. I think I am either here or at the Roseville location every other week. I think I may even like it better than the regular Nordstrom’s for their ever rotating selection. Depending on the season, I can come here every other week and always see a bunch of new things.
Nordstrom Rack carries everything that the regular Nordstrom’s carries, but on sale. If you see something that you like, you better buy it because it won’t be there next time!
I always buy all my premium denim here because instead of paying $ 150 – 200 per pair, they are $ 80 – 100. Yay! I also end up finding a lot of shirts on their «TBD» section and there are always plenty of maxi skirts in the women’s section during summertime.
The handbag department can be hit or miss. One day there will be a Gucci bag (seen it) and the next will be all Betty Johnson. Same with the shoe section. Sometimes it’s half full, and other times it’ll be packed. I myself have never purchased any shoes here because I’m super picky, but I always like to look.
The checkout line can get long but it goes really fast so don’t let it scare you away! Employees are alway friendly and helpful, but really the only place you will find them is the dressing room and cash register but that’s ok.
