If you are heading downtown from Harlem, Nordstrom opens its first “full line” store in New York on Thursday—a standalone space for men “on the go” that’s located across the street from where its future NYC store for women will be located. Among its many unique features—and, of course, apparel, shoes and brands—it offers a menu of personalized services including stylists (at no extra cost) and draft beer on tap to make in-person shopping fun, meaningful and connected.
While there are a handful of lower-priced Nordstrom Rack locations scattered around the city, the men’s store on Broadway between West 57th and 58th Streets aims to take the customer experience and attention to shoppers to the next level with:
- appointments with personal stylists are “fast, fun and free–with zero pressure”
- tailors are on hand for on-the-spot alterations
- a grooming area will feature guest barbers
- a shoeshine station will buff customers’ shoes
- a sunglasses shop
- a tech area
- pop-in boutiques range from Comme des Garçons (above) and Christian Louboutin to Nike Men, Allbirds and a Levi’s tailor shop
(See the full list of services below.)
Nordstrom, Inc. has hired 250 employees for the men’s store launch. The company will also open a New York City flagship store in 2019 at the base of Central Park Tower.
