Canadians have just a few more days to scoop up any remaining bargains at Nordstrom stores.
The high-end U.S.-based retailer says on its website that June 13 will be the “last day to shop!” adding that stores may close sooner based on available inventory.
Nordstrom says discounts of between 70 to 80 per cent are available during its final days of liquidation.
The Seattle-based retailer announced back on March 2 that it would be shuttering all six Nordstrom and seven Nordstrom Rack stores in Canada. The decision will affect 2,500 jobs across the country.
The company’s e-commerce business, nordstrom.ca, has already ceased operations.
In announcing the withdrawal from the Canadian market Nordstrom chief executive Erik Nordstrom said they did not see a “realistic path to profitability” for the Canadian operation.
Nordstrom first expanded to Canada with its first store in Calgary at CF Chinook Centre in September 2014. It quickly expanded its presence with stores at CF Rideau Centre in Ottawa, CF Pacific Centre in Vancouver and CF Eaton Centre, Yorkdale Shopping Centre and CF Sherway Gardens in Toronto.
