Just a few more sleeps, the very first Nordstrom store in Canada will open its doors to public. Folks in
Calgary have the luxury to be among the first Canadian city to experience the service offered
by this retailer.
Located inside a 140,000 sq feet space within Chinook Centre, Nordstrom will provide
full blown fashion and beauty services and amenities including certified shoe
fitters, personal stylist, new beauty concept, restaurant, tailor shop,
certified bra fitters, e-bar and many more. Free Wi-Fi will also be offered in
the store ensuring a convenient and efficient shopping experience.
The Calgary location will also feature all of Nordstrom's newest design concepts. For example, single-surface floor and natural (white) lighting
will allow the store to constantly remodel its unique physical appearance over
time, suiting the needs or wants of clients.
For Nordstrom, it’s a part of
its heritage to focus on offering some of the best shoe selections to customers, since they started as a shoe store in 1901. For shoe-obsessed ladies, the Calgary store will have three women’s shoe departments in
addition to the ones for men and children
– something for everybody and all ages.
Fashion and accessories also play a huge role for Nordstrom. In the Calgary location, you will find luxury labels such as Chloe, Ferragamo,
Valentino, Burberry, Alexander McQueen, KENZO and more. Like the US, from time to time Canada
will also receive Nordstrom special collaboration pieces - like its recent
collaboration with Sarah Jessica Parker, the SJP shoe collection will be available at the Calgary store.
For the beauty department, Nordstrom is constantly evolving trying
to be on top of their game. The “no-pressure shopping” experience concept, it’s
something that I think really shows the store places clients’ interest first.
This experience includes beauty mini-must haves, where smaller versions of selected
premium beauty products are made so that customers are allowed to take ”trials”
on them or take smaller quantity, as they desired.
Nordstrom (with lots
of love) helps local communities
The long sold-out Nordstrom opening gala on
September 17th will guarantee an amazing event, with more than 1,800
people attending. As a medical researcher myself, I am super grateful and happy
that Nordstrom is fully on board to support local hospital and charity. The
proceeds collected from the gala will go to Alberta Children Hospital and
charity partners. The evening will have catering by top chef Duncan Ly from
Hotel Arts and special live music performance.
