SEATTLE, Dec. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Seattle-based Nordstrom, Inc. (NYSE: JWN) announced today plans to open Nordstrom Rack at Winter Park Square in Winter Park, Florida. The approximately 25,000-square-foot store is scheduled to open in spring 2017. The property is owned by UP Development, LLC.
The newly constructed center will be anchored by Nordstrom Rack and Whole Foods Market. The center is located near Interstate 4, at the intersection of Lee Road and North Orlando Avenue.
