They really are up to snuff. When I lived in Seattle they had the best selection. I still have clothes I bought at Nordstrom several years ago. They really hold up in time and in fashion. The women will love the shoe selection. They should open a Nordstrom Rack either at Regency or in San Marco. Great off-price store. A quality brand.
Shoes. Interesting. Jacksonville has a famous guy who also sells shoes. Could he create the next Nordstroms?
Cityimrov ---- Who is this guy?
Spuwho ---- I agree! I definitely think Nordstrom Rack would do well in the Regency or who knows maybe Downtown?
I love their selection of men's accessories and shoes. It was the very first store where I purchased Toms slip-on shoes.
Gerald - I'm pretty sure "fashionista" is gender-neutral, like "Sandinista" ;)
It's been a long time since I've been at Nordstrom. I grew up near South Coast Plaza, and a real flagship store. The Rack was great, and had some awsome sales. I would be that more could afford the Rack prices, but the regular store sales are great, too. A Rack at Regency would surely help that mall.

I thought he owned Shoe Carnival. I didn't realise he still owned Nine West.

He owns both. I am not sure if one company owns the other or if there is a parent company for both, but he is the owner of both companies.
I can't say that I've ever shopped at Nordstrom, but I am excited to see what they bring to the table. There is not a lot of good shopping for men in this town.

Ah, I see. I could've sworn I remembered him selling off Nine West years ago after he bought the Jaguars. But I could totally be wrong about that. I've always linked him with Shoe Carnival, for some reason. I think maybe because I thought the name was funny.
I love the Nordstrom Rack at Mall at Millenia. That would be another great retail option for us.
Here is the elevation of the proposed Nordstrom Rack store going in across the street at the Markets at SJTC:

Here is the site plan. The new Moxie Restaurant is identified as building "C".

So we are getting a Nordstrom's and Nordstrom Rack. That's kinda like hitting the jackpot. Love both stores.
Would be great if they would put the Rack in Tallahassee. There is no chance we'd get a Nordstrom here.

yes
Based on the drawing that includes Moxie, it looks like there is a retail space in the bottom of that apartment building. In the mid right of the screen it says 'Vacant' inside what looks like a section of the apartment building. I am guessing that means it is a space for future retail. It also looks like those apartments will have angled surface parking surrounding the building, which is a huge shame.

I am pretty sure you're right. I think WW sold all his Nine West stock shortly after buying the Jaguars, and I think he also resigned as Nine West CEO to focus on building Shoe Carnival.

I don't know the difference between the stores; are they not cannibalizing their business by putting both in the Town Center? The rack looks like it's going in the vacant 20K SQ FT bay?
The Rack sells what couldn't be sold in the regular store. Sort of like Neiman Marcus's Last Call stores.

It will be a new store built from the ground up.
