‘San Francisco changed dramatically’ – Nordstrom is bailing on a flagship store

Also... I'm pretty sure seattle is their flagship store. Not sure why people are saying it's the tiny store in SF. Up in seattle talk about Nordstrom is how they're sort of failing to effectively compete in the modern retail environment (amazon, dollar tree, walmart, costco, etc.)

I always thought their niche was high touch service / moderately high price, bit peeps around town have mentioned they've been trying new models.

I'm sure crime doesn't help, but Nordstroms has been struggling since assuming debt for expansion in the 90s.

Yea, Nordstrom is supposed to be their high-touch high end, and Nordstrom Rack is supposed to still be high quality, but less high-touch. And they're trying to figure out the right mix without diluting brand.
