Nordstrom will offer updates about its turnaround strategy when it reports earnings on May 31.Nordstrom Rack, a brand that caters to bargain-hunting fashionistas, was founded in 1973. As the department store retailer has closed some full-line stores, it has opened more of the off-price locations.
Nordstrom Rack stores accounted for more than 40% of new customers in 2022, CEO Erik Nordstrom said on the March earnings callThe stores are also a way to move merchandise out of its full-line business, but still sell it in a profitable way, Jamie Nordstrom said. Rack also buys from brands' closeout sales.Nordstrom has turned Rack stores into e-commerce hubs, too.
She dubbed 2023 as off-price's "golden moment" because many retailers and brands got stuck with a lot of extra inventory. Sophisticated buyers can get good merchandise for less.Yih added that Rack doesn't have the same breadth as off-price competitors, which have large categories like home goods and food. Plus, Nordstrom risks stealing sales away from its namesake business, she said.
