Seattle-based fashion retailer Nordstrom Inc. on March 14 announced plans to open a Nordstrom Rack store at the Northwoods shopping center in the fall.

According to a news release, the 35,000-square-foot store will be located in a retail center that features Barnes & Noble, Bed Bath & Beyond, Old Navy and Ulta.

A filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation shows Nordstrom began a $500,000 yearlong renovation project to an existing space at 18134 San Pedro Ave. in February.

With the addition of this new location, Nordstrom will operate 21 Nordstrom Rack stores and eight Nordstrom stores in Texas, company officials said. Nordstrom Rack stores already located in San Antonio in the Alamo Quarry Market and La Cantera.

The release said Nordstrom Rack is the off-price retail division of Nordstrom, offering customers up to 70% off on-trend apparel, accessories, beauty products, home accessories and shoes from many of the top brands sold at Nordstrom stores as well as core services, such as online order pickup for nordstrom.com and nordstromrack.com, easy returns and alterations at select stores.

Nordstrom Rack is the largest source of new customers to Nordstrom, company officials said.

Company officials added as Nordstrom plans to open a Nordstrom Rack near Hollywood Park, the retailer will donate to Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Antonio as part of its longtime partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters of the United States.
