“We look forward to being part of the Fort Myers community and serving our customers with an incredible offering of great brands at great prices,” he said Gemma Lionello, president of Nordstrom Rack Stores. “We are excited to increase our presence in the region and introduce new customers to the Nordstrom experience.”
Nordstrom plans to open a 31,000-square-foot Nordstrom Rack in Fort Myers, Florida, in the Bell Tower in fall 2024. Emphasizing community connection, convenience and up to 70% off fashion items, it aligns with the Nordstrom growth strategy. With six Nordstrom stores and 19 Nordstrom Rack stores already in Florida, the company supports more than 2,600 jobs across the state.
Lionello added that at this location, “customers will be able to take advantage of our convenient services, such as online order pickup at both Nordstrom.com and NordstromRack.com, and will be able to easily make returns.”
The 31,000-square-foot store will be located in Bell Tower, an iconic shopping, dining and entertainment destination located in downtown Fort Myers, Florida. Bell Tower is owned by Madison Marquette, a leading real estate investor and developer; leased by Colliers, a diversified professional services and investment management firm; and managed by Avison Young, a full-service global commercial real estate firm providing transactional, property and project management, financial and advisory services across all sectors to landlords and tenants.
“Bell Tower is incredibly pleased to welcome Nordstrom Rack to the Fort Myers community,” says Jim Brennan, general manager of the mall. “A strong complement to our already strong retail lineup, the addition of Nordstrom Rack demonstrates to our valued shoppers that we listen to their requests, expertly combining brand-name retail with our distinctive collection of modern restaurants, dining and entertainment venues.” After retailers like Nordstrom Rack came to the area, Bell Tower continues its 40-year tradition as a unique, magnetic day-to-night destination and the perfect environment to rediscover the art of shopping.”
