SEATTLE, Feb. 13,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Seattle-based fashion
retailer Nordstrom, Inc. (NYSE: JWN) announced plans to open a
new Nordstrom Rack in
Manalapan Township, New Jersey in
spring 2025.
"We look forward to being a part of the Manalapan Township community and serving our
customers with an amazing offering of great brands at great
prices," said Gemma Lionello,
President of Nordstrom Rack
Stores. "We're excited to grow our footprint in the
region and introduce new customers to the Nordstrom
experience."
Lionello added that in this location "customers will be able to
take advantage of our convenient services such as online order pick
up from both Nordstrom.com and NordstromRack.com, and they can make
returns easily."
The 26,000-square-foot store will be located in Manalapan
Commons, a popular shopping center that includes Best Buy, Panera
Bread, Five Below, PetSmart and Raymour & Flanigan. Manalapan
Commons is owned and managed by Urban Edge Properties and is
ideally located off of Route 9 and Craig Road.
"Nordstrom Rack brings fashion to
this center for the first time, broadening its appeal to the
surrounding community," said Leigh
Lyons, SVP of Leasing for Urban
Edge. "We received interest from several large tenants
before deciding to proceed with Nordstrom, supporting our view that
Manalapan Commons as is a prime retail location in the trade
area."
