Nordstrom Rack

Sort of difficult to find exactly what you may want if you know what you want ahead of time.
Better to wander and just see what is available at a good price.
What I can guarantee you is that the tailor here, Annie is the best. She really knows what she is doing. I’m always impressed how she measures twice. Always makes sure what she does is exactly what I want done — no matter if it is a $ 1000 suit or a $ 15 pair of shorts.
Dropped off my $ 15 pair of shorts today to have them tailored 1.5″ off the bottom. I’m a big believer in the way stuff fitting being more important than how expensive it is. Annie made sure to have the logo at the bottom of the shorts get cut off at just the right place.
She is really the best — buy from here just to have her there to help you. Get a Nordstrom card too… it will help with the tailoring costs.

My go to Nordstrom’s rack, I’ve been to countless others and this one always has the best selection. There’s plenty of racks for you to dig though and find great deals, but I agree with most people who’ve reviewed this location, you gotta be in the mood to look. Parking is a hassle, because there’s so many stores in that small plaza. Trust me it’s worth the time. Why pay full price when you don’t have to.

This place is pretty messy. But I was looking for a max studio dress to wear for my niece’s graduation. I was SO happy because I found one for $ 40. Even cheaper than the outlet. I almost didn’t even go there because of the parking situation but we went after going to the Livermore outlets. And we actually found parking. My friend found some sneakers at Nike since they were having a big sale. Will be back to look for more bargains.

I’m not sure why I keep coming here. It’s probably because my wife get her bargains here. The store has a smaller section catered to men, but the turn of the goods does not seem to move frequently. Ive been here several months later and some of the same stuff is still there, for good reason I suppose.
Don’t get me wrong, occasionally they have superb finds on some men’s item’s that are priced quite nicely, but IMHO it’s not worth the hunt to keep coming in to find it, especially if you are not a «shopper». I would rather pay more to get exactly what I want, quicker, and with better service at the mother store.
In addition, be advised that not all of their product was ever at the mother store. They have products specificially produced for the RACK which has never hit the original store. One of the keys is to look at the labels, and see if it was a markdown label from the original store, or a specific Nordstrom Rack label. In addition, there might also be quality differences in specific Nordstrom Rack labeled products. Of course, they are not the only outlet or discount outlet that does this, as they all do this as a best practice.

Out of all the Nordy’s Rack, this is by far my favorite. It’s a large warehouse room, one floor, ample racks to scorn through and I know the layout very well. And even if they change things around to keep you confused, it’s still bearable to maneuver and spot out what you came for.
This outlet seem to have the largest and best supplies. They have all the designer name brands here, so, you don’t have to dig hard to find those golden tickets. And when I do find perfection, I’ll stock up and buy multiples of the same brand with different styles in the same size. That’s how I roll. I still remember my first treasure hunt here, it was a pair of Vera Wang kitten heels. I snatched them up in an instance. It was still $ 100 but it’s VERA WANG! You’ll never find that price anywhere.
On the weekends, especially a holiday weekend, the lines are ridiculously long. But though it’s long, the line keeps moving along, that’s what counts. You have to be in the right frame of mind to shop these racks because if your not in the mood to dig, then you won’t be bringing anything home. Now… go shop!
NOTES: Weekdays have parking. Weekends… beware of parking space snatchers, it’s ruthless out there. Wish the parking lot was larger because that Nike Clearance Center brings in a TON of people!

The customer service was not good. Was treated like a walking fungus. Returned some lingerie that I had bought the day before because they were a size smaller than I realized (hadn’t put them on or anything and the tags were still there) also, you could tell I hadn’t tried them on because they would’ve been stretched out, hence that’s why they were being returned. The sales associate was very rood and was laughing the entire time, picked up the lingerie with two plastic bag, then kept whispering and laughing on her phone. I understand there’s protocol, but her acting like that in front of me was very wrong. I have worked in retail for years and would never treat a customer like that. Beware of that particular location! P. S they were still on the hangers and everything. Untouched.

I’ve been to Nordie’s Rack before at other locations, and this one is about the same size and selection. I suppose if your goal is to get good deals on clothing and are willing to paw and search for those golden nuggets of clothes, then this place may work out for you. You won’t find the latest releases, but that may not be important, nor is having a personal shopper to help you with your selections. The prices I see are marked down, but not crazy mark downs like you might see at TJ Maxx or sale stuff at Kohl’s. I browsed around a bit but didn’t find anything.
For me, I guess, shopping Nordie’s is about the experience, the luxury of selective and non rushed shopping along with super service. Process oriented rather than goal oriented I suppose you might look at how I like to shop. I guess in the future, I probably pass on the Rack and just go to the regular Nordstrom’s Stores.

I believe this is the biggest one in the East Bay! This used to be my favorite before all the other Nordstrom Racks opened (Emeryville and Dublin). Inventory is split between the 3 stores, so I can’t find all the good deals at one! I must confess… I have gone to all 3 stores a couple of times when they had clear the rack sales. I know… I know… I’m a shopaholic!
My greatest finds here:
— $ 200 waterproof leather boots for $ 35!
— Blue Sam Edelmen flats for $ 30!
— White Theory Shorts $ 10
— BCBG skirt $ 10
It definitely takes some time and patience to look through all the stuff they have. There’s just so much!
I still give this store 4 stars because the employees here are the most friendly! Annie, the tailor here, is super awesome! She is very sweet and nice!

I always come here with my fingers crossed in hopes that I will walk out with goodies. Half of the time I leave empty handed.
The store is huge and a little messy.
It definitely has a ton more than the Concord location but the overload is overwhelming for me. I’m lazy and don’t like to shuffle through the mess so I get inpatient and leave.
But, on this occasion I actually found an item I liked so I bought it. The woman at the register was «blah» because she barely looked up at me and she really didn’t say much. It was awkward.

I love bargains when shopping, and I have definitely found my fair share of bargains at the Rack. This is my go-​to stop for boots/​shoes as well as lovely blouses and tunics. I have been pleasantly surprised on several occasions of nice clothing at a decent price. I am plus sized, so it is refreshing finding current and stylish items that are well made. I am willing to pay a few more bucks than Target to get something quality and unique.
I love the way the store is organized and run. I’ve never really had a problem here, only from having to sit around and wait while my sister and mom run wild in trying to look at EVERYTHING. The only complaint I think I have is having more seating for the poor souls who have found what they want and then have to wait for their loved ones.

I believe this was the only Nordstrom rack in the east bay, but I think they just built a new one in West Oakland borderline of Emeryville.
This place is a pretty decent store if you’re looking for expensive brand names for a cheaper price. Some of the items are still pretty expensive but you can catch a few deals every now and then. I mainly like to check out the shoes and accessories here.
It can get pretty busy here since I imagine a lot of foreigners come here to shop, but the cashiers try their best to reduce the length of the lines.
It can be quite messy here especially at the purse section and shoe section but they seem to organize clothes well.

I have to give it 5 stars as the bf bought me some jeans there and they were the brand I like and fits me. We went to another store first and they didn’t see the brand. Miss Me jeans are my favorite brand at the moment as they fit well. They didn’t have a huge selection, but instead of being picky, I just choose my favorite. I didn’t want to miss out on getting a gift. The PJ selection was slim pickings. He found me a tank top to wear to bed. It wasn’t what I had in mind, but it’s been working. I like the mauve color and the feel of the fabric.
The dressing rooms were nice. I kept going out to show him and they kept unlocking them for me so that was great customer service. If I didn’t show him he wasn’t going to be happy with his purchase.
We didn’t have time for anything else so that’s my entire review.

I used to always go to this Nordstrom. It’s super close too home. But in the recent years the staff is moody and in a bad attitude. Plus this store is ALWAYS a mess!
The ONLY perk that this store ever had is that if you were a Nordstrom Card holder you were able to make a purchase with a green shirted staff member. And after that you could go straight to a front desk cashier to quickly make your credit card payment and leave the store. The convenience of being in and out quickly was the only reason why I would even set foot into this store.
Well fast forward till today I met with a (what I’d believe to be a manager) Eduardo tell me that you can just make your payment anymore without waiting in their main line.
Since this was the first time of me hearing about their policy change… Not even as a courtesy did he let me make my card payment so that for the next time I knew what the new drill was. NOPE. I was given a disgusting snarky attitude. So disgusting In fact that I am debating cancelling my Nordstrom card indefinitely because for sure I’m never coming back to this store ever again. Or any Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack, or Hautelook for that matter. Because of his service I’m done with Nordstrom from now on and will pass the word on to my friends and family members as well.

Messy store, and the miscommunication between the employees at the register are evident.
I’m an employee at another rack, and I was doing a return the standard way — items unworn, with a receipt and the price tags attached. I have a nordies debit, but the money takes way too long to get back to my account when it goes back to that card.
Word of advice — always get your refunds bs k to your bank debit. The money goes back into your account instantly.
Anyway, the cashier I dealt with did not know what to do, then asked the others around her what to do. She was cool, but she made the return process hard on herself — I’m an employee myself and told her what to do.
Anyway, not returning. This store is too small, cluttered, and there isn’t a large enough selection imo

Selection of clothes and shoes is alright. I do wish they had more club outfits but hey I often find new work clothes here. I love their shoe section. So many goodies for a deal! But this positive is store-​wide…
SO, clean up your store and attitude. Today was the most disgusting experience I’ve had. (I’ve added photos) the bathroom had blood on the floor, the box where us ladies use for aunt flow related garbage was overflowing. Clearly this restroom isn’t looked after often. This is a sincere concern for me if you work here :(please clean up after yourselves and for your customers. The restroom shouldn’t be this gross.

Good value. Buy brand names at a discount. Still not cheap, but you buy good quality. This is the place to go for high end bargains.

This is my favorite Nordstrom rack! It’s probably he biggest one in the Bay Area, and had a great wide selection ranging from great designer pieces to everyday favorites with always ample sales.
The only down side is it seems like the shoes may be marked up? I’ve definitely seen better prices for shoes at places like DSW and even sometimes from the brand websites themselves.

There’s a gi-​normous amount of clothing… in every size imaginable… good for when you gain weight, lose weight, gain weight… yada yada. Also a good mix of business-​type wear and casual wear. The only downside is the selection of shoes… waaaaay more sports shoes than casual-​moderate-​dressy shoes for women. Seems strange for a Nordstrom company… but I’m not very familiar with what the Rack normally carries… this is the only one I’ve been to. Super downside: parking in this lot. Holy crikey — you better go during off hours or you will not find a spot. Oh — and also — not too many employees working there that I saw… except for the fitting room and the cashiers.

Been jones’n to go to Nordstrom Rack, but didn’t wan to trek to Daly City. I must not get out much since it’s 10 minutes from my house!
It’s Sunday, so everyone must have been at church, because it was empty. Good selection of men’s suits and slacks. I’ll have to come back when I have more time to try them on.
A few real deals on Tumi luggage. With my business travels, I unfortunately have to check luggage for bring gifts and hauling gifts back. Got a nice deal on a hard shell 22″ Tumi spinner for 50% off.
Being so close, I’m gonna have to restrain myself a not to be over indulgent.

Gotta be honest — LOVE me some Rack city. Even though I live in SF, this location has been my go to for years, for a few main reasons:
MAJOR discounts (up to 60% on designer brands)
Easy access (big parking lot)
Lots of fitting rooms
Right next to the NIKE Factory Store (always a must)
Only downside is the line, which is always brutal, especially on weekends. But the line moves fast because they’ve got the checkout process down to a tee, so don’t sweat it.
Location: OK, San Leandro is far. But do you want the sales prices or not? OK then, so sack up, hop in the car, and make the trek. It’s worth it. Plus you can hit In-​N-​Out on the way back to the city. What’s not to love?
UPDATE ⁸⁄₇: On the way home today I saw they just opened up a new Rack City in downtown SF on Market and 5^th. Be sure to check it out!
