Nordstrom is primarily a fashion retailer in the U.S., offering apparel, shoes, beauty products, and accessories for women, men, young adults, and children, but the company also sells home goods. Founded in 1901, Nordstrom operates its department stores, including Nordstrom Rack outlets, and Nordstrom Local service hubs. The company was an early adopter of e-commerce, having launched its site in 1998, where it continues to sell products along with its mobile app.
