Nodstrom coming to Vancouver?

[micbain]

That's what I heard from a SA at Holts, that Nordstrom is coming to Vancouver and already has obtained a location/floor space somewhere downtown. Would be a nice addition to the lack of selection here.

Fact or Fiction? Anyone know?

Interesting. I haven't heard this. Nordstrom carries many of the same brands as Harry's and Holts (I'm referring to mens wear only) but I would say is a tier beneath both overall. They certainly wouldn't be adding much to an area where we suffer greatly: men's shoes.

In the mid to late 90's both Eaton's and HBC both carried some higher end men's clothing but I don't think either approach really panned out. Perhaps Nordstrom is looking to fill that gap between an HBC and Harry's / Holts. But at first blush, I just don't know if Vancouver is large enough of a market to support another retailer like this.

not in the plans any time before 2012.

It's my last choice when shopping in SF, but it's better than nothing in Vancouver.

Addition to the subtraction is ... more subtraction!

(Or something like that.)
