Nordstrom Rack announced it will open in Shenandoah in the Portofino Shopping Center in spring 2018. The store, which offers men’s, women’s and children’s clothing, is a less costly alternative to its parent store, Nordstrom.

Shenandoah City Administrator Greg Smith announced the new business at the City Council’s regular workshop meeting Oct. 12. Smith said the store would take the former location of LifeWay Christian Store. www.nordstromrack.com
