text: As of March 16, 2015, the**Retail**segment includes our 115 “Nordstrom” branded full-line stores in the U.S. and Nordstrom.com, 167 off-price 
  Nordstrom Rack stores, two Canada full-line stores, Nordstromrack.com and HauteLook, and other retail channels including five Trunk Club 
  showrooms and TrunkClub.com, our two Jeffrey boutiques and one clearance store that operates under the name “Last Chance.” Through 
  these multiple retail channels, we strive to deliver the best customer experience possible. We offer an extensive selection of high-quality 
  brand-name and private label merchandise focused on apparel, shoes, cosmetics and accessories. Our integrated Nordstrom full-line stores 
  and online store allow us to provide our customers with a seamless shopping experience. In-store purchases are primarily fulfilled from that 
  store’s inventory, but when inventory is unavailable at that store it may also be shipped to our customers from our fulfillment center in Cedar 
  Rapids, Iowa, or from other Nordstrom full-line stores. Online purchases are primarily shipped to our customers from our Cedar Rapids 
  fulfillment center, but may also be shipped from our Nordstrom full-line stores. Our customers can also pick up online orders in our Nordstrom 
  full-line stores if inventory is available at one of our locations. These capabilities allow us to better serve customers across various channels 
  and improve sales. Nordstrom Rack stores purchase high-quality brand-name merchandise primarily from the same vendors carried in 
  Nordstrom full-line stores and also serve as outlets for clearance merchandise from our Nordstrom stores and other retail channels. During 
  the year, we launched Nordstromrack.com and the associated mobile app. Nordstromrack.com combines the technology expertise of 
  HauteLook with the merchant expertise of Nordstrom Rack. Nordstromrack.com and HauteLook offer limited-time sale events on fashion and 
  lifestyle brands as well as a persistent selection of off-price, high-quality brand-name merchandise and are integrated with a single customer 
  log-in, shared shopping cart and streamlined checkout process. Furthermore, we can accommodate returns from these sites by mail or at 
  any Nordstrom Rack location.
