By Georgiana Mihaila, Associate Editor

After announcing last year that it will be opening a 124,000-square-foot, two-level, full-line store at St. Johns Town Center, Nordstrom is now planning a 35,000-square-foot Nordstrom Rack store at The Markets at Town Center in Jacksonville. The opening date has been set for fall 2013.

The Markets at Town Center is a retail, dining, and entertainment center conveniently located at Gate Parkway and Town Center Parkway just off I-295/J. Turner Butler Boulevard. The location will place the new Nordstrom Rack across from St. Johns Town Center where the new Nordstrom full-line store will open in 2014. The new Rack store will be part of the final phase of the center and will be joining a vibrant business, retail and restaurant scene. Nearby stores include REI, Ulta, Best Buy, West Marine, Brio, Black Finn, Whiskey River, Suite and a variety of boutiques.

“We could not be more excited to be welcoming Nordstrom as our neighbor and Nordstrom Rack to our incredible array of one of a kind merchants and restaurateurs at The Markets at Town Center,” said Steven Cadranel, president of Arris Realty Partners.  “Our vision and success for attracting the most desired retailers and creating a truly unique shopping and dining experience for all of northeast Florida continues to build on itself.”

Nordstrom currently operates nine full-line stores and eight Rack stores throughout Florida, and has recently revealed plans to open a new 35,000-square-foot Nordstrom Rack shop at the Shoppes at University Town Center in Sarasota. The next two targeted markets for Nordstrom Rack stores are Chicago and Louisville, Ky.
