Seattle-based Nordstrom, Inc. announced plans to open a Nordstrom Rack at The Promenade at Town Center in Santa Clarita, California. The approximately 30,000-square-foot store is scheduled to open in spring 2018.

Just 35 miles from downtown Los Angeles, The Promenade at Town Center is located off I-5 at the intersection of Magic Mountain Parkway and McBean Parkway. The new Nordstrom Rack store will join more than seven existing retailers in the area.

“We’ve been fortunate to serve customers in the Los Angeles area for many years and we’re thrilled to add a new Nordstrom Rack location in beautiful Santa Clarita,” said Karen McKibbin, president of Nordstrom Rack. “We’re excited to offer local customers a more convenient location to shop great brands at great Rack prices.”

This will be the first Nordstrom Rack store in Santa Clarita. This fall the company is also opening a new Nordstrom Rack at FIGat7th in downtown Los Angeles and relocating a full-line store to Los Angeles’ Westfield Century City.

“Nordstrom Rack is a strong operator, with offerings that are well aligned with the local demographics,” said Ben Green, Asset Manager at Barings, LLC. “We are confident that the store will be embraced by the community and have strong sales volumes. We are excited to have Nordstrom Rack join The Promenade’s existing roster of tenants, including HomeGoods, Party City, and Tilly’s. With the addition of Nordstrom Rack, The Promenade at Town Center is the preeminent community shopping center in the Santa Clarita Valley and continues to be a solid investment for our fund.”

Nordstrom Rack is the off-price retail division of Nordstrom, Inc., offering customers a wide selection of on-trend apparel, accessories and shoes at an everyday savings of 30-70 percent off regular prices. Nordstrom Rack stores offer convenient mobile check-out, allowing customers to skip the lines and purchase their items from a salesperson anywhere in the store. Nordstrom Rack merchandise comes from Nordstrom stores and Nordstrom.com, as well as specially purchased items from many of the top brands available at Nordstrom. Customers can shop an even larger selection of merchandise on nordstromrack.com or through the Nordstrom Rack + HauteLook mobile app, which features a Scan and Shop button to easily locate and order items not available in the store. The Rack is designed to provide the ultimate treasure hunt to style-savvy customers.

    Wonder which Anchor Store it will be replacing. Macy’s, Sears, or J.C. Pennys?

  2. Yippee..love the Rack!

  4. Tanya Resurreccion can you come to scv now

  5. Someone tell me why we never got an actual Nordstrom store to move in the SCV? Instead, we get their “Rack”. Lord knows there’s more than enough money out here to sustain it.

    • We don’t meet the actual income threshold force this area.

    • Not even close to meeting Nordstrom’s demographic thresholds.

    • Todd Crites says:

      For example, it took the Cheesecake Factory years to make it out here bc their income threshold is 100k – wasn’t enough people making that. Reality is, Valencia has a commercial -delusional rental issue. Pushing mom and pop restaurants and shops outside of the main areas into the less desirable locations, after lease deals ends. Rents too high. All we get are chains bc of the offsets and deals they can acquire, and in reality, look how long a lot of spaces sit empty around here. Stevenson Ranch is a great example. The vacant Albertsons building at old road and Valencia, big wangs closed, etc. point being, economic conditions are rather bleak here. And most holding out for premium rent bc they can. Aside from the Patios, the mall is outdated mess of place. That will have more issues when and if Sears or Pennys shutters. BTW, read a while back that our Macy’s is actually one of their high performing stores. Go figure:

  6. Janet Eminian says:

    Can’t wait! Will be worth jockeying for a parking space!

  7. They wanted to be paid big bucks for years, and pay no taxes,to come out here and the women in the town voted “no way” to that blackmail!

  8. Don’t really care much for the rack. It’s just one level above a thrift store any more. Really has little to do with Nordstrom’s other then the name! Better then another market I guess.?
