Nordstrom Rack

«A-​Okay» would seem to me to be exactly what a Nordstrom Rack would aspire to be rated. Why? Merchandise in a place like this is off-​season, unsold, unpopular in some cases and just plain,… ready for discount. Hey! I’m all about that and I think I understand that Nordstrom Rack is just that: SEARCH and FIND. So why «YAY! I’M A FAN» rating? Because the secret’s out. Nordstrom Rack stocks PETER MILLAR men’s shirts every now and then. It’s a favorite of mine and I usually run across PM business casual shirt that; (a) always fits an XL like me; (b) isn’t some crazy design — conservative patterns and presentation and finally; © $ 49 a shirt which normally retail for $ 100 — $ 140 per shirt. Savings like that for a very high-​performance, well-​crafted shirt is enough to bring me in once in a while to sort through RACKS of men’s shirts. And if Nordstrom Rack is A-​OKAY or below,… then why is it every time I’m in there pawing around the place is packed with people. ‘Nuff said!

Went here the other day with my aunt’s who love to shop «high fashion.» The store was well laid out and well lit. However, everything was way out of our price range. A pair of shoes on CLEARANCE was still $ 200. Who has that kind of money to spend on clearance shoes? The selection of clothing wasn’t very good either. Though I did see some cute purses. I won’t be back here to shop anytime soon. It was a disappointment.

The Good:
I love their soft $ 10 t-​shirts and a particular brand of a bar of soap I find there.
The Bad:
NR’s inventory is very bleak and their prices are way too high. They always have the same exact merchandise every time I’m there and my husband says the same about the men’s inventory as well.
The Ugly: Their checkout practice is confusing, frustrating and absolutely absurd. If you want to pay with anything other than credit, forget about it.
What they do is, when you are standing in line, even if you’re the next person, a clerk will try to lure you out of the line so they can ring you up «quicker?» They ask if you’re using credit then they walk you across the store to their station and ring you up there. By the time you’ve walked across the room and the clerk starts helping other people and answering customer’s questions along the way, etc. it’s a whole 20 minutes to get out of the store, and I’m not exaggerating, when you could’ve just waited in line for another 30 seconds.
Today, I was ‘the next person’ in line. This time, 2 clerks tried to lure me out of line. Having been through this process before, I said ‘no’ to both. I thought I had figured it out. You DO NOT leave the line no matter what. At least I thought that was how the game was played. NOPE. I finally get to the next cash register. She rings me up and ((Oops,)) «sorry miss, I don’t accept Debit cards.» (BTW, we are standing at a cash register but she’s still using her cell phone app thing to run my card.) «If you want to use anything other than credit, you’ll need to go back in line and wait.»
That was the last straw for me and this place. I had a talk with the manager and she asked that I give them another chance but unless they ditch those cell phone credit card readers, I will not return.
They need make it known at the entrance of the store that credit is their preferred method of sale in the same way little mom and pop shops post a sign that they are cash-​only.

This was my first adventure into Nordstrom’s Rack. Many Unilocal friends frequent the Easton NR, so I’ve had it bookmarked ever since it opened. Happen to be up in this area, so why not.
The layout of the store allows for good flow. Ill admit I was attracted to a few purse wallets right when I walked through the door, but passed when I glanced at the price. Bummer :(Is it nice clothing? Yes. At least basses on the original prices and designers, I can only assume it’s quality stock. Is it my cup of tea? No. I’m more of a jeans and comfy dress shirt kinda gal. From the few times I’ve been into Nordstrom’s (at Easton), and now the Rack, I find the garnets to be a tad more fancy than I care to wear. They do have a plus size section here, but it is quite small. Perhaps the Easton location is better…

Since I used to live in California I am somewhat used to Nordstrom. When they opened a Nordstrom Rack, I knew some of my family members would just be thrilled about it coming to Ohio.
My sister loves this store and now my mom is addicted to it too. So that leaves me, I look at Nordstrom and just see overpriced clothing that I know I can’t afford. I go just to see what they have and maybe if they have a good deal on something I will buy that but very rarely.
I was interested in the Nordstrom Rack because when it first opened over in the Easton area it just seemed to be such a craze that I knew when it came to Dublin it would be the same for the residents here who have that kind of income. The way I see it is we are getting a bunch of west coast stores that many people wanted to see added here.
I saw all the big brand names today and that’s nice. Basically what you have here is some regularly priced items versus clearance items in the back of the store. Do I want to invest in something here? Maybe if it’s worth the quality that I can’t get a cheaper clothing store but not really.
In all, if you are lucky you will find something good here but it won’t be in a price range you will be crazy about.

This store is not as big as you would think. Everything is on one level. It seems like the outlet store for Nordstrom. Lot’s of stuff on sale but nothing for me. I did find a decent USB car ch#darger for $ 10 though!

Meh. I guess I expected higher end stuff due to the name… Marshall’s and TJ Maxx have better stuff then this place. I found absolutely nothing that interested me… was all cheaply made outdated crap.
I won’t be back.

My first time going there, but it wasn’t as big as I had expected. You’ll be able to find some big name brands like Tory Birch, Coach, Boss, etc… but the selection is somewhat limited in terms of style, but still better than the Saks Off5th at the outlet mall in Cincinnati. Also, this store seems to be a lot better organized than other outlet stores like Marshall’s or TJ Maxx, so it feels a lot less cheap.
I found some great deals on luggages that included Tumi at over 50% off! There are some men’s suits ranging from 36S to 48L which is a plus. However, most of the casual shirts for men were from places like Pac Sun that are more geared toward hipsters. There are some Kenneth Cole and Boss shirts, but you’ll have to dig for them. Overall, there’s not a huge selection for men’s clothes. I browsed through the kids and women’s sections and found a lot more brands, sizes, and styles.
I think this building used to be a 2-​story tall Dick’s Sporting Goods store. However, Nordstrom Rack removed the second level so now you’ve got a huge open room with bright lights that gives the store a very «warehouse» feel.
