Nordstrom, the high-service family-owned department store based in Seattle, will open a store in Yorkdale Shopping Centre. It is the second Toronto area store planned by Nordstrom, the other being in Sherway Plaza. The three-level, 188,000 sq. ft. store will be housed in the mall’s new expansion which is set to begin January 2014. Nordstrom was founded in 1887 and has always emphasized service. For many years new employees were given a company handbook welcoming them. It said: “Use the best judgement in all situations. There are no other rules.”
