Massive 26,000-Square-Foot Nordstrom Rack Opening in Northern Illinois

A brand new Nordstrom Rack is coming to northern Illinois on October 22, 2026, and it's going to be pretty big too, 26,000 square feet.

If you like to shop at Nordstrom but don't want to pay Nordstrom prices, Nordstrom Rack is perfect. I've got plenty of clothes from that place, and I can almost always find something worth picking up because the discounts are rather steep.

Deep Discounts and Order Pickup Coming to Bloomingdale Court

Located at Bloomingdale Court, near Army Trail Road and Schamle Road, a shopping center that is home to Best Buy, Ulta, and Dickk's Sporting Goods, Nordstrom Rack will fit right in.

If you order your clothes online from either Nordstrom or Nordstrom Rack, you can pick up and return at this new, soon-to-be-open location, and since it's Nordstrom's "off-price division," there are discounts up to 70% on clothing, shoes, beauty products, accessories, and things for around the home.

Will Rockford Ever Get Its Own Nordstrom Rack Location?

There are already 18 Nordstrom Rack locations in Illinois, along with four traditional Nordstrom stores, and it currently employs 2600 different people in the state.

While it's not the closest Nordstrom Rack to Rockford, it's another option within driving distance, but I feel that when places like this open within arm's reach of The Forest City, it raises the obvious question: When, if ever, are we going to get one in Rockford?
