Menlo Park Nordstrom's Reopened Tuesday

EDISON, NJ — After being closed for months, the Nordstrom at the Menlo Park Mall reopened for business this Tuesday, June 16, Nordstrom company announced.

Nordstrom closed all its stores in March due to the coronavirus outbreak and last month announced that 16 stores nationwide would be closed permanently.

The high-end company said the closures are a result of both the coronavirus pandemic and market trends pushing more shoppers online. According to Nordstrom, more than half of their sales now come through their website.

However, many of the Nordstroms and Nordstrom Racks in New Jersey remain open. On Monday of this week, a slew of Nordstrom Racks reopened (Bound Brook, Cherry Hill, Lawrenceville, Eatonton, Paramus, Wayne).

And on Tuesday, the more expensive full Nordstrom stores at the Menlo Park mall and Short Hills mall reopened. On Thursday, their flagship Nordstrom store at Garden State Plaza will reopen.

"Our stores have always been, and continue to be, a core part of our business, and we’re taking a phased, market-by-market approach to reopening," said the company.
