text: Net Sales (2014 vs. 2013) 
  In 2014, total company net sales increased 7.8%, which was attributable to the comparable sales increase of 4.0%. During the year, we 
  opened three Nordstrom full-line stores, including our first store in Canada, and 27 Nordstrom Rack stores. Additionally, as a result of the 
  acquisition of Trunk Club, we acquired four Trunk Club showrooms and opened one additional Trunk Club showroom in 2014. These 
  additions increased our square footage by 5.5% and represented 2.8% of our total net sales for 2014. 
  
  Nordstrom net sales, which consist of the U.S. full-line and Nordstrom.com businesses, were $9,678 in 2014, an increase of 3.8% compared 
  with 2013, with comparable sales up 3.6%. These increases reflected continued momentum in our Nordstrom.com channel. Both the number 
  of items sold and the average selling price increased on a comparable basis in 2014. Category highlights included Accessories, Cosmetics 
  and Men’s Apparel.
