Nordstrom Reveals Brands Carried in its Pacific Centre Flagship
/Nordstrom has provided a full list of brands carried in its 230,000 square foot Vancouver store, set to open Friday, September 18. The Pacific Centre location will carry far more brands than Nordstrom's Calgary and Ottawa stores, including some exclusive concessions and shop-in-stores. This may not be surprising, given that Vancouver's Nordstrom will be one of only six global flagships for the retailer. Nordstrom has also provided us with a full list of in-store services and amenities, which we have included in a separate article.
Prior to its 9:30 am opening, Nordstrom is holding a pre-opening beauty bash from 7:30 am until 9:30am, accessed via the 799 Robson Street entrance. You can get your makeup done and have free breakfast bites and coffee, with live music by Side One.
