In sync with its customer-based strategy, Nordstrom, Inc. (JWN - Free Report) intends to introduce two Nordstrom Local neighborhood stores, each in Brentwood and Downtown, LA, in fall 2018. Unlike the traditional retail concept, Nordstrom Local is the company’s first modern retailing concept store that does not stock merchandise. Under this concept, the company’s services are easily available in a centralized location.
Sprawling across 1,200 square feet, the Brentwood store is slated to open doors at 214 26th Street in the core of the neighborhood. The other 2,200 square feet store in Downtown will be located in the BLOC at 700 S Flower St. As Bloc is the leading retail and entertainment destination in the core of the city, Nordstrom Local is expected to boost the customers’ experience at large.
Nordstrom introduced its first Nordstrom Local store at Melrose Place in West Hollywood, CA, in October 2017. These stores are likely to focus on personal styling, consultations, appointments along with buy online, pick-up in-store and same-day delivery services.

This store also focuses on-site tailoring and alterations coupled with Trunk Club stylists, curbside pickup, digital boards with tailored fashion recommendations. These apart, various modes of refreshment along with gift cards and easy returns processes from stores as well as online are present there.
