Nordstrom Rack, a popular discount retail chain, is opening its doors in Novi on Friday, August 26. The store will be located in West Oaks, on Novi Road across from Twelve Oaks Mall. This is the fifth Nordstrom Rack in Michigan with other locations in Troy, Grand Rapids, Ann Arbor and Lake Orion.

Nordstrom Rack is a discount version of the department store Nordstrom, with most of its product coming from there at prices 30-70% off. This means great designer pieces for a fraction of the price. You can also shop online, unlike other discount stores such as Marshall's or TJ Maxx. Brands range from Kate Spade to Cole Haan to Nike.

Nordstrom Rack opened up their first store in the basement of a Nordstrom store in 1973 in Seattle. They make up about a fifth of Nordstrom's total sales and have made over $2.5 billion in sales since 2013. In 2017, Nordstrom Rack plans on opening stores in Canada which will begin its global expansion.
