SEATTLE, Aug. 2, 2016 /CNW/ -- Seattle-based Nordstrom, Inc. (NYSE: JWN) announced today plans to open a Nordstrom Rack at Deerfoot Meadows shopping centre in Calgary, Alberta. The approximately 30,500-square-foot store is scheduled to open in spring 2018. The property is owned and managed by Ivanhoé Cambridge.

The new store at Deerfoot Meadows is located just south of downtown off of Deerfoot Trail, Heritage Drive and Glenmore Trail. Other tenants in the centre include Ikea, Sport Chek, Banana Republic and Gap Factory Outlets.

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 merchandise, available at Rack stores and at Nordstromrack.com, comes from Nordstrom stores, Nordstrom.com as well as specially purchased items from many of the top brands available at Nordstrom. The Rack is designed to provide the ultimate treasure hunt to style-savvy customers.

"Our new Rack store at Deerfoot Meadows will offer an additional way to shop for the Nordstrom brands our customers love at great prices," said Karen McKibbin, president of Nordstrom Canada. "Calgary holds a special place for us since it was where we opened our first Nordstrom store in Canada back in 2014, and we couldn't be more excited to bring our Rack offering to customers here."

"We are delighted to welcome Nordstrom Rack to Deerfoot Meadows," said Roman Drohomirecki, Chief Operating Officer, Ivanhoé Cambridge Retail. "As Calgary's first of its kind, Nordstrom Rack will broaden the centre's merchandising appeal with a strong apparel offering. We have no doubt that it will further enhance Deerfoot Meadows' regional draw and meet our shoppers' high expectations."
