Nordstrom Rack

This Nordstrom Rack didn’t have that good of a selection when I went. The other ones I have been to have a huge selection, but this one was lacking. The store was messy and not that busy. The store in general has high end brands for a fraction of the price. I love the concept because of the lower prices.

Located across from the Hyatt Hotel and right next door to Anthropologie. My husband and I came by this store yesterday afternoon.
This store is 2 stories, with the 1^st floor only having sunglasses and luggage. On the 2^nd floor is pretty much everything else. With this store, I would have to say that this particular location has a good selection of shoes, including the high end designer labels (seems like more that the other Nordstorm Rack on State St). I found some really good deals on shoes but because I am vacation (and only limited to my 1 carry on bag and a shared checked in bag, I have to be very choosy on what I buy while being on vacation), I was unable to purchase any (insert sad face).
The employees I interacted with were pretty friendly and helpful in showing me some of the clutches in the displace case and check out was a breeze (if you are paying with a credit card, any sales associate in the store can actually ring you up so you do not have to wait in line if it is long).
If I lived in this area, I would definitely be sure to frequent this location.

Great prices at a great location as its the rack so there is no service there that’s why you can get 50% of a Hugo Boss suit which is awsome however you have to wait at least a week for your tailoring which is still a deal considering the regular price at Nordstrom. Basically you have to give yourself time in advance (about a week)

«Love» is an understatement for my feelings towards this Nordstrom Rack. I purchased 3 pairs of quality jeans, 4 shirts, and a back pack for around $ 200. After looking up MSRP on these items, I deduced that I saved over $ 180. I can’t help but go in every time I pass the place.

This is a nice Nordstrom Rack location that both my wife and my daughter enjoy shopping at. Depending on the time of the year, the shelves may be a bit messy or bare, but there are many great deals to be had on otherwise expensive items.
The store staff are quite friendly and were able to assist me when purchasing a new watch for my son and a wallet for my daughter. The girl helping me (I believe her name was Jessica?) was friendly and offered her insight into what a girl in her late teens would enjoy receiving as a gift.
I would recommend this store to anyone looking for good items at a lower price than many high-​end retailers.

This is one of those places that I don’t want to give 5 stars just because I want it to be my little secret… but, just this once I’ll let you in…
This is my absolute favorite Nordstrom Rack! You can find some seriously great deals on high-​end brands like Armani, Lanvin, Burberry, Alexander Wang, and the list goes on! Sure, a lot of the stock is still expensive, but a fraction of the original value. My best find was a Helmut Lang dress for 95% off (how is that even possible???). Honestly, you don’t have to look very hard to find a great item for a good price!
For an outlet, the store stays well organized. There is a lot of stock but does not feel cluttered. The stock changes every week or two, which may be the joy of your closet, but the death of your bank account…

I was pleasantly surprised at the outcome of this trip. I don’t shop at Nordstrom Rack very much as it is pricier than the other discount stores. However, I hadn’t had much luck at TJ Maxx or Marshall’s so I decided to visit. I ended up purchasing a great water resistant coat (petite sized even), cute walking shoes, a bra, and some pants all on clearance. I also picked up a couple of cute earrings. I found the shoe section to be quite disorganized though. The signs didn’t match up with the items in that section. I went to a $ 29.95 and under row and the items there were definitely not under 30 bucks. They obviously need to work on organization.

At first glance, this Nordstrom Rack (and likely, all Nordstrom Racks, but I’m just not that familiar with them) appears to be similar to a Marshall’s, with racks of inexpensive scarves greeting you on the first floor followed by «high end» (not really) handbags (like Coach logo printed bags or pop color saffiano leather Michael Kors totes) at the top of the long escalator. I almost just walked out of the store but then realized that the good finds take some searching. I spent a long time sifting through dresses, sweaters, outerwear, and shoes but didn’t find anything that I absolutely loved. However, if I have time to kill (and plenty of patience) while visiting Chicago in the future, I would consider checking out this store again.

Ótimos produtos e preços! Super recomendo uma passadinha para conferir \o/​os funcionários não são muito simpáticos, mas vale a pena passar para conferir!
Além do que Dandara encontrar várias marcas, Gucci, Valentino, Prada, DIor, MK, etc

We popped in here for what turned out to be a quick peek. Walked in and went up the long escalator. Got off the escalator and joined a throng of people milling around the store. I have no idea if it is always this busy here, but we were gone after 15 minutes. Considering how busy it was, the store did not appear too messy. It just did not feel like we were in a Notdstrom Rack store. Felt and looked more like we were in a Ross store or Marshalls store. The TJMaxx store just off the Magnificent Mile was much nicer looking than this shop. Maybe we came at a bad time, but I doubt that we will be returning here on our next trip to the Windy City.

BEST NORDSTROM RACK LOCATION!!!
So many different variety of brands and everything was organized and easy to find. This is so important in a discount retail store and is the reason why I don’t go to other discount retail stores sometimes.
I got a Rebecca Minkoff Affair bag for 50% off and my boyfriend got a great deal on a pair of Nikes!!! I wish I had more room in my suitecase to shop more!!!
Downside — we did not get greeted once and no one asked us for help. But the associates were talking to each other a lot.

Nordstrom Rack is the high end form of TJ Maxx. I was completely shocked to see the brands featured here. And I was also shocked to see the layout look completely identical to a TJ Maxx. I hate that there really isn’t much organization happening along the racks. Its very hashed, and you really have to dig to find what you want.
With that said, the price point here really is great! I know the State street location as more product, but for men’s, I think this has the better shoe section. Especially clearance shoes.
What I can’t stand here are the workers. Nordstrom quality product/​price tag, TJ Maxx quality employees. No one interacts with you unless you force them to, they wear coordinating t-​shirts (probably not their decision but still), …its just sloppy.
If nordstrom is anywhere in the name, I still want an elevated experience.

This is as close to «high fashion» as I’m going to get unless I suddenly decide an outfit/​accessory is worth selling a kidney. In my attempts at acquiring adult skill sets, wardrobe care was not one of them. Dry Clean only? [pfffttt, tosses into wash with a mix of colors] Nordstrom Rack has been my savior for all types of fashion emergencies. The Rack made sure I looked presentable for professional conferences, comfortable yet chic for overseas travel, and I-can’t-believe-she’s-not-really-nouveau-riche for special events/​parties.
Admittedly it can be a hit/​miss, but enter with an open mind for a find! On more occasions, my shopping triumphs have completely overshadowed shopper’s remorse. When something unexpected happened to my maid of honor dress, I managed to pull out a last minute doppelgänger two days before my flight. Considering the bride’s stringent specs on color and shape, I was flabbergasted by the find. Plus it cost me less than my original frock. Score! In preparation for a barrage of black tie optional weddings, I managed to walk out with two dresses to fit the scene– all for less than one Rent-​the-​Runway frock. Take that RTR! Fabulous shoes to match? The Rack’s got it handled.
The question really is what have I NOT purchased from The Rack?
She’s the Fairy Godmother I never had.

Decent but not as good as the location on State street.
Once you walk in there is a huge escalator to take you upstairs towards the merchandise. Selection is ok, but as I mentioned not as good as the other location.
Staff is really nice and they make sure you get what you need.
Pretty packed as its right off of the mag mile… prepare to squeeze through the aisles

I always have a pretty good luck at finding great items in this Nordstrom Rack location.
I’m a Nordstrom Rack regular and a Nordstrom cardholder. I always take my time going through racks to racks to find anything and everything, without any expectation whatsoever.
Today I found a Union Jack neck warmer for $ 20 by the Madena brand. I know it wasn’t the best deal you can in the cold-​weather accessory department, but I’m obsessed to anything with the Union Jack pattern. Of course I ended up getting it without any compromise.
Hubby and I have been having an eye on a couple of watches by the Original Penguin. They were marked down even more, for approximately $ 5 less, from our last visit. We felt that was a good price to purchase one of the watches at this time.
As a usual routine, I always encourage hubby to walk through the men’s shoe department. He found his go-​to pair last time from this location, and today the fortune streak continued. He found a pair of Birkenstock shoes for $ 40! Did I mention that these were shoes, not sandals… for $ 40? Yes, this was the best buy of the day. Hubby has flat feet and spread-​out toes, and the Birkenstock trademark roomy design on the toe area gives hubby’s toes an ample space to comfortably place them. You wouldn’t be able to find Birkenstock at this price point in Germany for sure.
In summary, it was a satisfying trip to the Nordstrom Rack on Chicago Ave. We were content with our purchases. Shopping at a Nordstrom Rack isn’t typically enjoyable for some people who dislike crowds and tight spaces, but if you can overcome those challenges somehow you can possibly find good deals.

There are two Nordstrom Racks less than 1 mile away from each other and both have different clothes at each so you need to really shop at BOTH to feel you covered your bases and have gotten the best deals.
The Rack on the Magnificent Mile strikes me as the one with the glam-​glam outfits: party dresses, boleros, capes, and high-​end everything. I was able to get some a-​mazing deals here like $ 3000 designer pants for $ 94. Bam!
It doesn’t have a children’s department and it felt more congested (people, racks were stuffed) than the Rack located on the Loop. I felt more confused and rushed. I ended up buying only 2 items versus 20 at the Loop site.
**Minnesota has zero sales tax on clothing; they’ll honor that if you ship. Beats paying the Chicago 11% sales tax. So, II you have 2 pounds or 20 pounds of clothing, they ship for a flat $ 8 at no sales tax. It’s a no brainer especially if flying.

Big selection of hats, gloves, and scarves by the entrance. I kinda wished I lived in a colder climate so I could get some cute hat/​gloves/​scarf ensemble.

I always go to Nordstrom Rack thinking there will be fantastic deals — possibly because I frequently shop Nordstrom’s online sales, and that stuff is always great and heavily discounted.
The actual, physical Nordstrom Rack experience is much different. The checkout lines are always far too long, and the salespeople always ignore me in favor of people who look like they actually have money (is it my fault I look 15?). The racks are disorganized and sizes are often misplaced. And the sales are nowhere near as good as they are online.

So, everything is bigger in Texas, right? That most definitely holds true for Nordstrom Rack. Perhaps I’m spoiled rotten with the size of the store close to the galleria, but this store is fairly small and cramped in comparison. It kind of reminds me of a Ross or Marshall’s. The shoe department was the highlight for me with its great selection of designers and others. I scored 2 beautiful pairs of Via Spiga pumps, as well as Anne Klein flats, and Michael Kors loafers for very reasonable prices.
As for the clothing department, I was a tad disappointed. The selection was not what I was expecting for this chain of department stores. MY past experience in Nordstrom Rack stores are that the clothing choices are pretty vast and very well priced. I felt that the selection at this store wasn’t the best and I really felt like I was in a Marshall’s which is not the norm.
Overall, the staff was nice, the store was well kept, the sunglass and shoe selection was awesome, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to come back. I might just save my pennies for when I return to the H :)

I love Nordstrom Racks, and this one just is not good.
I was in a jam and needed some business casual clothes when I was in Chicago for vacation. I passed by this Nordstrom Rack and immediately opted to go here to find something. Relative to the other Nordstrom Racks but I have been in, this location is very small. At home in DC, the shoe section was basically the size of this entire store. I get it it’s the middle of downtown and you’re limited with space, but if you can’t give a good product, don’t have a store at all.
I noticed that a lot of the shirts here were made exclusively for the Rack. The whole point of going here is finding those good Nordstrom deals, but there aren’t that many to have here. Two of the good shirts that I actually contemplated buying had big stains on them as I was trying them on. Since the event I was going to was later that night, those are automatic no’es. Pants were all disorganized, so it is what it is.
If you’re in a jam, perhaps you’ll be able to find something here. Otherwise, it’s not a good place to browse and search for deals..

Your best friends would not lead you in the wrong direction, would they ?
OK to refer to Nordstrom Rack as my best friend would be stretching it just a bit. I mean what should I do? should I call it quote THE RACK unquote just for short?
The rack if my memory serves me correctly is a torture device they used in the middle ages and pain is not a image I want to convey for this review.
Actually you can call it the rack if you want.
The dress shoes that you would normally find in fancy shmancy stores for $ 450-​$ 600, you will find here for less then $ 99 but maybe 5 months after they came out.
if you ae like me and consult GQ magazine before you leave the house (not every time-​relax) then you will find some good quality dress shoes here.
Recently I have been able to find quality hats and fedora’s here for less then $ 20. Bargain since those same hats are sometimes $ 50 in other stores but we wont mention
them here since we don’t want this review to get flagged :)
Finally I come to the bow tie. I don’t wear this all the time. But it looks good on me so I buy them here. They are also less then $ 20.
This store is a great value for men’s dress clothing if you don’t want to spend $ 500 on a pear of loafers.
I have been able to find what I was looking for in here without ransacking the store for a good deal on shoes.
The employees are very helpful in knowing where all the merchandise and being honest if you ask them if ot looks good on you. If that fails, they have a mirror.
