SEATTLE, Jan. 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Seattle-based Nordstrom, Inc. (NYSE: JWN) today announced plans to open a Nordstrom Rack at Wayne Towne Center in Wayne, N.J. The approximately 36,000-square-foot store is scheduled to open in fall 2015.

This will be the sixth Nordstrom Rack in New Jersey. The company recently opened a new Rack in Livingston and will open two additional Racks this year at Mercer Mall in Princeton and Crossroads of Eatontown in Eatontown. Nordstrom also operates five full line stores in the state.

"We're excited to further grow our store presence throughout New Jersey by bringing an additional Rack to the Wayne Township area," said Geevy Thomas, president of Nordstrom Rack. "We look forward to serving customers with many of the Nordstrom brands they love, at great prices, when we open our doors this fall."

Wayne Towne Center is conveniently located at the intersection of I-80 and State routes 46 and 23, adjacent to Willowbrook Mall. The two-level Rack will be part of a newly constructed building in this existing center anchored by JCPenney and Costco. Other tenants include Dick's Sporting Goods, DSW and several restaurants.

Nordstrom Rack is the off-price retail division of Nordstrom, Inc., offering customers a wide selection of on-trend apparel, accessories and shoes at an everyday savings of 30-70 percent off regular prices.
