Nordstrom Rack is the off-price retail division of Nordstrom, Inc., an American luxury department store chain founded in 1901. Established in 1973 as a clearance outlet in Seattle, Nordstrom Rack offers discounted apparel, accessories, and footwear from both Nordstrom's full-line stores and other major brands. It operates as a separate retail entity, with locations across the United States and an e-commerce platform. While maintaining a connection to its parent company's fashion-forward identity, the Rack focuses on high-volume, lower-cost merchandise, appealing to value-conscious consumers. It competes in the discount retail space alongside stores like T.J. Maxx and Saks OFF 5TH.
