 | Mar 13, 2018 11:17PM ET

Nordstrom, Inc. (NYSE:JWN) has been persistently focusing on store-expansion strategy as part of its efforts to grow market share. Recently, the company revealed plans to relocate a Rack store to the latest location in the Sugar House Shopping Center, in Salt Lake City, UT. Spanning across 36,000 square feet, the relocated outlet is expected to open doors in spring next year.

The relocated store will be housed in a building adjacent to the present Rack store close to the Springhill Suites and Whole Foods Market (NASDAQ:WFM). Situated in the I-80 freeway, it will be roughly three miles from the downtown business district. In fact, the company inaugurated its first store in the Salt Lake City in 1991 and remains keen on serving the community with the latest assortments.

Notably, Nordstrom has four Rack stores and two full-line outlets in Utah. The company has been serving customers in the region since 1981 when it first opened doors at Fashion Place. Currently, it operates 369 outlets across 40 states. Its portfolio includes 122 full-line stores across the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada, two Jeffrey boutiques, 235 Nordstrom Racks, two clearance stores and seven Trunk Club clubhouses along with Nordstrom Local service concept.

Being the off-price retail segment of the company, Nordstrom Rack offers fashion-savvy customers a wide range of on-trend apparel, footwear and other accessories at discounted prices. These Racks usually keep items from the main Nordstrom stores and online store — Nordstrom.com. Additionally, these stores stack products from other major brands sold by the company.

In fact, Nordstrom has been relocating stores in order to suit the customers’ needs and enhance their shopping experience. Prior to this relocation, it announced the relocation of the Oak Park Mall store in Overland Park, Kansas, to Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri. The company expects to open this new 116,000 square-foot store by 2021.
