The empty store front in Shoppers World on Rt. 9 W where Linens N Things was has signs announcing that Nordstrom Rack will be opening there.<\/p>\n
Nordstrom Rack\u00a0is the company's off-price retail division offering discounts on products from their mainline stores, Nordstrom.com, and special purchase items.\u00a0 A big focus is name brand shoes.\u00a0 Sounds a bit like what Filene's Basement started out as, an outlet for the upstairs, upscale store.<\/p>\n
According to their website, and press releases appearing in various business news outlets, Nordstrom Rack will open in the spring of 2010 in the Shoppers World location.<\/p>\n
With so many large retail spaces vacant, this is a boon to Framingham, and to Developers Diversified Realty which owns the Shoppers World property.<\/p>\n
This store will provide jobs and will probably attract more shoppers from the wealthier communities, especially to the east of Framingham.<\/p>\n
For those curious about the store, this is the second Nordstrom Rack in Massachusetts.\u00a0\u00a0You\u00a0check it out\u00a0in the Liberty Mall in Danvers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
