Profile: Started as a retail shoe business in 1901, Nordstrom (NYSE: JWN) has become a leading
fashion specialty retailer of pricey merchandise. Its record performance this fiscal period is
attributed to affluent customers, who have been less impacted by the slow economy. Its increased
store count also helped: three new Nordstrom outlets and 17 Nordstrom Rack stores added this
period. Plans call for pretty much doubling that growth by early 2012. In February 2011, the
company acquired HautoLook Inc., an online private sale marketplace, which will help enhance its
online platform and its direct sales to consumers. UPDATE: For Fiscal 2011, ending January 28,
2012, Nordstrom’s sales shot upward by 12.9% to $ 10.5 billion, bolstered by higher sales in
handbags, designer clothes, and cosmetics.
