The latest retail offering from the company, named ‘Nordstrom Local’, allows customers to shop and access Nordstrom services in a central location.
Unlike usual Nordstrom stores, which have an average size of 140,000ft², the proposed hub will have a 3,000ft² footprint.
Nordstrom customer experience senior vice-president Shea Jensen said: "As the retail landscape continues to transform at an unprecedented pace, the one thing we know that remains constant is that customers continue to value great service, speed and convenience.
"We know there are more and more demands on a customer's time and we wanted to offer our best services in a convenient location to meet their shopping needs. Finding new ways to engage with customers on their terms is more important to us now than ever."
