"We look forward to being a part of the Franklin community and serving our customers with an amazing offering of great brands at great prices," said Gemma Lionello, president of Nordstrom rack stores. "We're excited to grow our footprint in the region and introduce new customers to the Nordstrom experience."

“In this location customers will be able to take advantage of our convenient services such as online order pick up from both Nordstrom.com and NordstromRack.com, and they can make returns easily,” added Lionello.

The 24,000-square-foot store will be located in Cool Springs Market, a popular shopping centre that includes Dick's Sporting Goods, Kroger, and DSW. Cool Springs Market is owned and managed by Kite Realty Group Trust and is ideally located off of Interstate 65 and Cool Springs Boulevard, the company said in a press release.

"We are thrilled to welcome Nordstrom Rack to Cool Springs Market," said Blake Beaver, regional director of leasing at Kite Realty Group Trust. "The coveted brand and its excellent products will be an ideal complement to our centre's diverse and appealing range of offerings."

Nordstrom Rack is the off-price retail division of Nordstrom and plays a critical role in the company's Closer to You strategy, which focuses on delivering customers a more convenient and interconnected experience across its stores and digital platforms. Nordstrom Rack offers customers up to 70 per cent off on-trend apparel, accessories, beauty, home and shoes from many of the top brands sold at Nordstrom stores as well as core services like online order pickup for Nordstrom.com and NordstromRack.com, easy returns and alterations at select stores. Nordstrom Rack is the largest source of new customers to Nordstrom.

With this new location, Nordstrom expands its physical footprint and economic impact in Tennessee. Nordstrom operates four Nordstrom Rack stores and one Nordstrom store in Tennessee, generating nearly 500 jobs statewide.
