Nordstrom, Inc.’s (JWN - Free Report) recent activities resonate well with the evolving retail industry. The company is focused on offering maximum choices to customers and enhancing their shopping experience. With regard to this, the fashion retailer recently inaugurated a store at the SoNo Collection mall in Norwalk, CT. Nordstrom’s three-level, 140,000 square feet outlet marks its second full-line store in the state. The company had opened its first full-line store at Westfarms Mall in 1997. The company is also scheduled to open another store in the East Coast this fall.

This 2,700-square feet department area enables customers to pick-up online orders, issue express returns and access alterations as well as tailoring services. The department also includes services like Curbside Pickup, Personal Styling and more.
The new outlet at the SoNo Collection, with a brand-new service concept, offers modern beauty and wellness experience along with inclusive offering of clothing and accessories. The store design, which connects the shoppers’ experience to the outer world, has lighter fixtures and windows with natural light.
Featuring top women's apparel brands — rag & bone, Veronica Beard, Missoni, Carolina, Madewell and more than 35 Nordstrom-made labels — the store is expected to become a one-stop destination.
