The first Nordstrom to arrive in Texas is closing its doors.
The well-known retailer is set to shutter at Galleria Dallas, Nordstrom said in a statement. Its last day will be May 16.
Already, Nordstrom — which caters to higher-end department store shoppers — had shrunk its footprint at the shopping center. It moved out of the third floor and giving up more than 45,000 square feet of space around 2022.
The store opened in 1996, with hundreds of people waiting to get in at the Galleria.
While Nordstrom is pulling back from its major, traditional retail arm locally, it’s been investing elsewhere in North Texas with Nordstrom Rack, its lower-cost version. It recently opened stores in Prosper and Flower Mound, and has plans for a site in Murphy.
I work near the Galleria and remember when it opened and it was a great store. But the entire Galleria was so different 20-30 years ago. Nordstrom’s changed during Covid and when they closed the 3rd floor things got worse. Very different merchandise and vibe compared to the NorthPark store. I go there to eat at North Italia and if I need something from the Apple Store and to mall walk in the winter when it’s really cold. Nordstrom’s is a very well run retailer and I think it was just not a good fit anymore for some reason.
I’m in Troy Mich and things aren’t snapping back after the holidays at our store. My hours are cut enough to warrant them to send me a letter saying that they’re going to cut my benefits for not working enough hours.

I haven't been recently but there was a Rack store literally just across the street.
kabob21@reddit
Which made no sense to me because it’s literally taking sales away from the main store in the Galleria
Chr0mx@reddit
Both stores cater to a widely different crowd, if the rack does take sales from the main store it is very minimal.

This is so sad. Noone wants another outlet Nordstrom. I miss being able to go touch & try on clothing
Shad3sofcool@reddit
From my understanding mall management was upset with them for removing the designer section and closing the third floor.
the-BBC-news@reddit
Yeah, this has been a store closing in process for the last 5 years if you were noticing the brand matrix and floor space shrinking.

Seems like there is only two thriving Malls
NorthPark & TownEast Mall…. The famous “K” economy must be real🤯
Sea-Cauliflower-8368@reddit
Stonebriar is also doing well.
zatchstar@reddit
Nah, that’s just an illusion. There are people there but the stores aren’t profitable and the mall management is garbage.
It will fail eventually too
Shad3sofcool@reddit
Exactly. Most teens that go to Stonebriar aren’t shopping at Banana Republic, Williams-Sonoma, or Nordstrom.
Anonmaii@reddit
I only go to American eagle and Madewell for jeans
Shad3sofcool@reddit
Madewell is at Legacy West though, not Stonebriar. I believe they might sell it at Nordstrom.

Grapevine Mills is also doing pretty well, always super crowded on weekends
PseudonymIncognito@reddit
Grapevine Mills is an outlet mall with a roof.

Lay off the Starbucks pick yourself up by the booties and go own the libs.
TheClownIsReady@reddit
Saddest part is losing the Nordy’s coffee shop right outside the inner entrance. No more delicious Ice Storms!
DookieMcDookface@reddit
Stay hard Nordstrom
edgarsh@reddit
I’m not surprised at this point
middlebird@reddit
Sad times.
