The seven-story flagship, which officially opens to the public on Thursday morning, "will represent the biggest and best statement of the brand, and largest single-project investment in Nordstrom history," according to a company press release. At 320,000 square feet, the store features a wide assortment of brands and products, as well as several "merchandise concepts," including a Nike boutique and Couch customization shop intended to serve as experiential retail spaces.
