“The addition perfectly complements the shopping center’s strong merchandising mix and provides an additional community favorite shopping destination serving the greater Beaches area and eastern Jacksonville communities,” said Eric Apple, leasing agent for Regency Centers, in an April 2023 news release.

When the Jacksonville Beach store opens, Nordstrom will have six full-line stores and 18 Nordstrom Rack stores in Florida.

Nordstrom also announced a new look for its brand.

“The new branding celebrates and reflects the bold, authentic, empowered and expressive spirit of our customers while showing them even more ways to Rack whether they shop on our website, app or at one of our Nordstrom Rack stores,” it said in a news release.
