Nordstrom is closing its doors at two major shopping centers—Saint Louis Galleria and Santa Monica Place—leaving many regulars wondering what’s next for their favorite stores. The Santa Monica closure hits especially hard, as it’s been a key part of the Third Street Promenade for years. In St. Louis, 135 employees are impacted, though Nordstrom says it’s helping them transition. Meanwhile, the company’s CEO has raised concerns about staying in Portland, echoing a trend of big retailers leaving cities over safety and theft issues. With more closures possible, what do you think this means for the future of in-person shopping in our communities? #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #Nordstrom
