Nordstrom is Closing TOO MANY Stores!

Nordstrom has been closing so many stores ! I thought they were one of the only department stores that didn’t have that issue but apparently I’m wrong. Let’s take a look at ALL of the stores they have closed or are closing in 2019. After we look at the stores we will spill more tea about Nordstrom.

Anchorage 5th Avenue Mall, Anchorage, AK
The Mall at Wellington Green, Wellington, FL
Providence Place, Providence, RI
Northgate Mall, Seattle, WA
McArthur Center, Norfolk, VA
Stonestown Galleria, San Francisco, CA
The Mall At Partridge Creek, Clinton Township, MI

Those are SEVEN Nordstrom stores that are closing. However this Fall they are opening a full line store at The SoNo Collection in Norwalk, CT near New York City. I also can think of some stores that wouldn’t surprise me to see shuttered.

Greendale Mall, Worcester, MA

As my return post to the blog, I decided the best mall to write about is the now-demolished Greendale Mall in Worcester, Massachusetts. Greendale Mall was a very different place in design, department stores, and its tiny footprint. However, this small footprint was a key marketing tactic that the mall used in its earlier years and was proven to have worked because of how successful the mall was up until the 2010s. I can see what was so appealing about this mall before it died and it is unfortunate that I never got to see it at that stage of its life. Greendale Mall opened in 1987 and was a product of New England Development also developed the Arsenal Mall in Watertown which was one of my childhood malls I have many memories there in its final years. I am very familiar with the now-shuttered mall and can tell you firsthand that Arsenal and Greendale are very similar architecturally and in many other ways as well. At Greendale's opening, it was the second mall in the city of Worce

Woburn Mall, Woburn, MA

Woburn Mall was a a small mall in the shadows of the large Burlington Mall. The mall was never busy on the inside. You’d think by looking at the parking lot it was packed inside because the parking lot is small and the big tenants are right at the mall entrance like Market Basket, and TJ Maxx. There really isn’t much history on this mall because of it size I’m thinking. I am guessing that the mall was built in the early to mid 70’s. The mall was renovated which is honestly shocking in 2004. The Frabric Place which was the anchor in Center Court closed in 2008. The mall had a strange tenant mix. They had many discount oriented shops but not really regular mall chains. They really wanted this to be a place that you could go to and get your groceries, shoes, and takeout at Uno’s. They did have some chains but it wasn’t special. Some of the chains were Talbots Outlet Store, Payless ShoeSource, and GNC. They had a Sports Authority just like many of the dead malls in the area.
