Nordstrom’s store at the Clackamas Town Center is among 16 the Seattle company is closing permanently amid the fallout from the coronavirus outbreak.
“These types of decisions are never easy because we realize what this means for our employees,” Nordstrom said in a written statement to Portland TV station KOIN-6. “We’re committed to taking care of them as best we can, including providing support and resources through this transition.”
The company said the Clackamas store will close by August.
Nordstrom, like many established large retailers, has been feeling pressure for years as consumer buying habits change. The coronavirus outbreak has added to those difficulties –retailer J. Crew filed for bankruptcy Monday and Neiman Marcus submitted its own bankruptcy filing Thursday.
Even as it pares back, though, Nordstrom is making plans to reopen stores in parts of the country where local governments allow it. The company said Monday that when stores do reopen, Nordstrom will screen its employees’ health, provide workers with face masks, increase cleaning within the store and take other steps to limit spread of the coronavirus.
On Thursday, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown said boutiques and large retailers can reopen May 15 if they limit the number of customers in their store, mandate facemasks and clean the stores frequently.
Nordstrom has given no indication of its reopening plans in Oregon. It has three stores in the Portland area, including the Clackamas locations, and four Nordstrom Rack stores.
