Nordstrom's quality brand-name clothes at bargain-basement prices.

by Robyn Galbos

In Short
Home to Nordstrom's overstock and occasional factory irregulars, the Rack draws fans of the upscale department store with brand-name apparel (DKNY, Kenneth Cole, Lucky Brand) that is as much as 75 percent off original retail prices. Shoppers snatch up clothing, home accessories and bath products, but the ever-changing shoe selection is a big draw: Customers try on shoes from the racks, then head to a counter where a salesperson retrieves the mates.

Definitely Worth Checking Out

The editorial review doesn't do this location justice. The store was peaceful; merchandise at great prices all over, and lots of staff. I waited in line less than 5 minutes and walked out with an armful of great bargains. Located in the newly rennovated Esplanada Mall in Oxnard, I would go back here again. I live 50+ miles away, so that should tell you something.

• Pros: FABULOUS Bargains, Great Brand Names, Lots To Look At
• Cons: Not Close To My Home, Small Houswares Dept.
