Nordstrom Rack Now Open in Annapolis

The Annapolis Harbour Center has Anne Arundel's first Nordstrom Rack store.

Anne Arundel County’s first and only Nordstrom Rack store is now open in Annapolis Harbour Center. The 32,230 square-foot store is located next to the Office Depot.

The Rack is the off-price retail division of Nordstrom, and carries merchandise from Nordstrom stores and Nordstrom.com at 50 to 60 percent off the store’s original prices.

Nordstrom Rack also offers a wide selection of apparel, accessories and shoes from many of the brands carried in Nordstrom stores and purchased specially for Nordstrom Rack, with most at savings of 30 to 70 percent off.

Crofton resident Marcia Smith said she is a long-time fan of Nordstrom and is excited about The Rack store opening in Annapolis.

“I love designer clothes and accessories but I don’t always love paying the prices,” she said.  “However, Nordstrom Rack gives me the opportunity to buy name brands and not break the bank. It’s great having a Rack so close to the area.”

"Adding first-to-market stores such as Nordstrom Rack to an already strong lineup of retailers further enhances Annapolis Harbour Center's status as a one of Annapolis' top shopping destinations.”
