May 12—Nordstrom Rack will open its doors at the Queen Creek Marketplace on Thursday, May 16.

Shoppers are invited to the grand opening at 9 a.m. Thursday, May 16, with a celebration featuring light bites, gift card giveaways and beauty activations.

Nordstrom Rack is also partnering with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Arizona to host participants in the store to shop for the spring season from 3 to 4 p.m. Tuesday, May 14, before the store opens to the public.

Nordstrom Rack is the off-price retail division of Nordstrom Inc. This new store will span 28,025 square feet and feature famous brands at discounted prices, up to 70% off apparel, accessories and shoes for the whole family.

Nordstrom Rack at Queen Creek Marketplace will receive new deliveries every week, so customers can find new and exciting products every time they visit with 90% of the same brands available at Nordstrom.

Customers will find pieces from Frame, Sam Edelman and Madewell, ranging from denim to spring outerwear to running sneakers.

Nordstrom Rack also expanded its beauty assortment in the last year, and customers can now shop beauty brand favorites like M.A.C., Kate Somerville, Murad, Too Faced, Urban Decay, NYX Cosmetics, Shiseido and DryBar.

Sephora and Handel's Ice Cream, Reformed Pilates, Nothing Bundt Cakes and Little Flippers Swim School have opened at Queen Creek Marketplace in the last six months.

The 900,000-square-foot shopping center is located off the southwest corner of Rittenhouse and Ellsworth Loop roads in Queen Creek.

"We look forward to welcoming a new assortment of retailers including Nordstrom Rack to Queen Creek Marketplace," said Angie Kory, Vestar's vice president of leasing.

"This addition not only enhances our shoppers' experience but also underscores our commitment to bringing top-tier brands to the community, solidifying Queen Creek Marketplace as a premier shopping destination."

Additionally, Nordstrom Rack will be within a 5-mile radius of more than 150,000 residents, she said.
