Nordstrom Rack store to open at Pembroke Mall in Virginia Beach

Published February 12, 2015 by Robert Powell, III

The 32,500-square-foot store is scheduled to open  at Pembroke Mall in spring 2016.

Nordstrom Rack is the off-price retail division of Nordstrom. Its stores carry merchandise from Nordstrom stores and Nordstrom.com, as well as specially purchased items from many of the brands sold at Nordstrom.  

Pembroke Mall is an enclosed regional shopping center in Virginia Beach with more than 635,000 square feet of gross leasable area.

The new Nordstrom Rack store will occupy a portion of an existing Sears store on the mall’s ground level.

The building is owned by Sears Holdings, which will continue to occupy a position on the primary floor of the existing store. Sears also signed a lease with DSW for an adjacent store that will soon open at the mall.
The mall's current anchor tenants include Target, Kohl's and Steinmart. It has more than 60 tenants.

When it opens, the Nordstrom Rack store will be the seventh in Virginia. The company will open its sixth Rack location at Springfield Town Center on April 16. Nordstrom also operates five full-line stores in the state.

Nordstrom operates 292 stores in 38 states. They include 116 full-line stores in the U.S. and one in Canada; 167 Nordstrom Rack stores; two Jeffrey boutiques and one clearance store.
