>Nordstrom Canada failed

Of the 13 stores they opened in canada, 7 were the "nordstrom rack" discount brand, which is really not nordstrom. IIRC they were actually some of the old stores from the failed Target expansion, and they felt like failed Target stores. It's not a surprise that they failed.

Though it's not like these all served different geographic markets - e.g. My local Nordstrom Rack was a 10 minute drive from my local Nordstrom.

FWIW my local Nordstrom Rack was an old Future Shop location. Now it's a Marshalls.
