Nordstrom Rack to Open Two New Stores in Ohio by Late 2026, Expanding Retail Presence
Anonymous
Nordstrom Rack is bringing two new stores to Ohio before the end of 2026, with locations opening in Canton on August 20 and in Akron in October, according to Canton Repository. The openings are part of a nationwide push that will add 20 new Nordstrom Rack stores across the country.
Ohio already has 11 Nordstrom stores. A third new location — in Toledo — is also planned, though that one won't open until summer 2027, Cincinnati.com reported.
Canton Store Opens First on August 20
The Canton Nordstrom Rack will be the first of the two to open its doors. It's set for August 20, 2026. To mark the occasion, the store will hold a grand opening event with giveaways and free coffee, Record-Courier reported.
Shoppers will also get a shot at winning a $1,000 Nordstrom gift card during the opening event. Before the official opening, the store will host a pre-opening shopping party for early access.
Akron Location to Follow in October 2026
The Akron store is scheduled to open in October 2026, just a couple of months after Canton. Like the Canton location, it will feature opening day events including giveaways and a chance to win a $1,000 gift card, according to Times Reporter.
Both stores will also hold pre-opening shopping parties ahead of their official launch dates. The events are designed to build buzz and give local shoppers early access to deals.
Nordstrom Rack Expanding Aggressively Across the Country
The two Ohio stores are part of a much bigger plan. Nordstrom Rack is opening 20 stores nationwide as part of its current expansion push, Dispatch reported. The off-price chain sells designer brands at discounted prices.
Nordstrom Rack targets shoppers who want name-brand clothing without full-price tags. The aggressive expansion signals strong demand for discount retail even as other chains have pulled back on growth.
Toledo Store Rounds Out Ohio's Nordstrom Growth
Ohio's Nordstrom footprint isn't done growing after 2026. A Toledo Nordstrom Rack is also in the works, with an opening planned for summer 2027, according to The News-Messenger. That would bring the state's total Nordstrom presence to 14 locations.
With Canton, Akron, and Toledo all on the schedule, Nordstrom Rack is making a clear bet on Ohio shoppers. The state is becoming one of the chain's key growth markets in the Midwest.
