NORDSTROM Rack will be shuttering all of its 258 stores nationwide in the coming days.
The temporary shutdowns will last 24 hours, and consumers will be forced to go elsewhere for their favorite merchandise.

The department store chain closes all of its locations on Christmas Day in recognition of the holiday and to give employees time to spend celebrating with loved ones, a store employee told The U.S. Sun.
It might not come as a surprise to some longtime Nordstrom Rack customers, as the retailer closed all of its stores on December 25, 2023, and has done so for several years in a row.
For any last-minute gifts, shoppers can order online or head to their nearest Nordstrom Rack location ahead of time.
Those who head to Nordstrom Rack’s website and place orders by Tuesday at 5:00 PM local time will also get a guaranteed Christmas arrival.
There are also ongoing online deals and discounts as high as 81% off on some items.
For in-store shoppers, it’s important to remember that hours will vary by state and store on Christmas Eve.
Some may operate during regular business hours, while others could close early.
The U.S. Sun has contacted Nordstrom for more information.
It’s highly recommended that shoppers double-check the operating hours or call their nearest Nordstrom Rack for more information.
There’s a useful locator tool that shows stores by state on Nordstrom Rack’s website.
NO LUCK
Macy’s also won’t be any help for those consumers who still plan to gamble and go out shopping on Christmas Day.
All of its nearly 500 locations will close down to similarly allow time for staff to celebrate.
In previous years, Macy’s has also closed on Christmas Eve, so it’s still best to get out days ahead of time if possible.
Macy’s also throws several celebratory Christmas events in December, including visits to see Santa, a lights show, and decorative displays.

ACCESS GRANTED
There will be a select few companies who will remain operational, however.
Bravo Supermarkets, Giant, Duane Reade, CVS, and select Walgreens stores — along with convenience stores like Wawa and Circle K will be open on Christmas Day.
Casey’s General Store, Cumberland Farms, Starbucks, 7-Eleven, and Safeway are also set to join that list.
As it’s the busiest shopping season of the year, with the average American expected to spend between $900 and $2,100 on gifts, there are some hot deals still going on, per CBS News.
For example, there are $5 Christmas mugs from Target while supplies last.
Dollar General also recently confirmed its final week of Christmas sales, which are as high as 60% off.
