When Nordstrom has a sale, it gets everyone’s attention.
Especially if you are looking to upgrade or supplement your wardrobe with high quality merchandise.
Currently Nordstrom operates three stores in San Francisco including a department store at Westfield San Francisco Centre on Market Street, and Nordstrom Rack stores at 555 Ninth St., and 901 Market St.
The in person super sales are significant as Nordstrom reports, more than half of their sales now come through their website.
Many brick and mortar retailers are going through significant changes due to increased online purchasing from customers and the coronavirus pandemic thus the company also announced a restructuring to their support roles and corporate organization, which they hope will save about $150 million in expenses.
This information is consistent with the news report at sfist.com who posted on December 6, 2019, “The SF Planning Commission on Thursday approved a plan to convert the top two floors of Nordstrom at the Westfield mall into 50,000 square feet of new office space. Floors 7 and 8 at Nordstrom will soon disappear under the plan, as the Chronicle reports, while the store will continue to exist on floors 4, 5, and 6 of that half of the mall.”
With the possible closing of stores, some permanently, Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale event has also been pushed back to August 13, 2020. Normally the annual sale is held in July but these are anything but normal times.
During the sale, Nordstrom plans to implement several new precautions to protect customers and employees from the coronavirus, including health screenings for employees, free face coverings for shoppers and employees, and limiting the number of visitors allowed in stores so they can maintain safe social distancing.
In terms of this massive unique sale, now you can read all about it.
