LORELAI: Oh, wow, it’s a piano player.
EMILY: That’s Brad. I found him at Nordstrom’s.
LORELAI: Was he on sale?
Nordstrom is a luxury department store headquartered in Seattle, Washington, and founded by John W. Nordstrom and Carl F. Wallin in 1901. The original Wallin & Nordstrom store operated exclusively as a shoe store, and a second Nordstrom’s shoe store opened in 1923. The growing Nordstrom Best chain began selling clothing in 1963, and became the Nordstrom full-line retailer that presently exists by 1971.
There is a Nordstrom at Westfarms Mall in West Hartford.
