When Nordstrom opened in Vancouver, I entered the store and looked at the price of men's socks. I then went out and never came back.

There are NOT enough rich people in Canada to support luxury department stores. Blame the high taxes and low wages.

[@Sam19509]

lol more like the rich people in Canada are mostly wealthy professionals like Doctors and CEOs. As oppose to the US where wealthy people are entrepreneurs and descendents of generational wealth.

[@msmichelle2196]

​@@Sam19509 Exactly the reality most people choose not to admit is that in America there is more a chance for wealth whereas in Canada it's a smaller percentage that many can't break into

[@taxicamel]

Yes, agreed, "most people’s salaries remain low". HOWEVER, 25% of the Canadian work force ARE getting huge, GUARANTEED, salary increases ....EVERY YEAR ....along with excellent BENEFITS, PENSIONS, and PENSION BENEFITS. These jobs are RECESSION PROOF. 25% is a very large demographic. IT IS THE PUBLIC SECTOR ...ALL ACROSS CANADA ....CIVIC, PROVINCIAL, AND FEDERAL. 100% UNIONIZED. None of these people have any money concerns. They will SAY they do ...of course. Case in point is the B.C. TEACHERS UNION. They very quickly settled last winter (2022) because they were given an increase that directly relates to the current high interest rates ....which will in fact eventually go back down .....BUT THEIR HUGE INCREASES WILL REMAIN. At the end of their "new contract", they will be making almost $120,000 annually ....WITH FOUR MONTHS VACATION FROM DAY ONE. It is the remaining general 75% of the workers across Canada that most certainly did NOT shop at Nordstroms ....and yes, they will be shopping at Jeff Bezos' THOUSANDS of stores for 50% or more, less money. I watch parcel delivery trucks regularly/weekly, at three houses in our area. Been going on for about three or four years now. NEVER seen that before ....and I've been here for over 40 years. The "major shift" HAS taken place .....and Nordstroms is NOT in the picture. I'll also add, immigration that has happened in our neighbourhood, has had existing houses knocked down, and very beautiful large houses built. Everyone taking over a year to build. These are NOT just houses. They are very "high end" mini mansions. But the kicker is, they are NOT occupied all year round. Houses sit empty in the winter months. I hardly ever see anyone around in the yards in the summertime. Very nice vehicles leave the garages and return to the garages. Lawns are NOT kept up. Garden unkept ...full of weeds. In SUMMARY, ....these are very wealthy people who can buy a place anywhere they want. They have absolutely no intention of contributing to the neighbourhood ...or perhaps Canada (?) They have no "Canadian sense of values". They keep to themselves. They are NOT at all "friendly". CANADA HAS CHANGED. IT IS NOT THE NICE COUNTRY IT USED TO BE. .

We will see more of this over the next few years as prices continue to sore and most people’s salaries remain low. People will have to prioritize their basic needs and stop shopping for sport.

[@YoBoyMarcus]

I went to Nordstrom Rack a couple of weeks ago to check it out. I couldn't believe the high prices. I left pretty quick.

[@taxicamel]

.....and you are probably identifying the reason why the "surprise" decision to close shop. Nordstrom is NOT for a small country like Canada ....plain and simple. Very few people even know the population of Canada .....and you need "POPULATION" for a store like this. EVERY level of government is increasing taxes in Canada. In some cases .....DOUBLE DIGITS!!! VANCOUVER, B.C. .....10.7% !!!! Consumers have no "disposable" money left ....excluding the UNIONIZED PUBLIC SECTOR. A B.C. TEACHER will be taking home $120,000 ANNUALY IN FOUR YEARS ....THANKS TO THEIR NEW CONTRACT ......BUT PUBLIC SECTOR UNIONS IN CANADA REPRESENTS ONLY 25% OF THE CONSUMER BASE .....not enough for a Nordstrom. .

The real difference between the US and Canada is that they have plenty of people who make over 100k, those that can afford luxury goods. Canada doesn't really have a big upper-middle class. It just has poor renters and rich people who own everything.

[@petersmith2040]

I agree 110% with you. Luxury department stores (e.g. Nordstrom, Saks 5th Avenue, etc…) and luxury boutiques (LV, Gucci, Prada, etc.) rely heavily on the upper-middle class consumers to stay profitable. The poor, middle class, and the rich don’t really spend that much money in the aforementioned stores. The rich in Canada have everything already and don’t spend that much money on luxury goods in the country. They are also frequent overseas travelers and they can always get much better deals when buying their luxury goods in HK, Singapore, London, Paris, NYC, etc… and use them while overseas and bring them back to Canada in their luggages as personal items without having to pay import duties, GST and HST when they return.

[@HiAndHello-w9l]

@@petersmith2040sure that makes sense outside of Alberta but 5% get is hard to beat even internationally and sure there may also be a smaller percentage of high earners but I also think Canadians prefer to spend their money elsewhere. Why get a luxury bag when you can spend that on top tear ski equipment? Why shop at an expensive department store when the fashion is awful or boring ? in some part Nordstrom was expensive, but there also wasn’t much worth buying, I looked at the clearance sales and felt no temptation to buy anything even when it was 50% off or more

During high inflation (and recession) high-end stores tend to suffer. This is a well known effect and Sears is a good example of this in the past. Oh and Norstrom is suffering in the USA too - this is not a "US stores doing badly in Canada" thing.. . . By contrast stores like the Dollar Store, Walmart and Costco do very well as shoppers move to low cost items.

[@Aleksandar6ix]

I used to love department stores... My choice was The Bay. But in the last decade I just can't afford to spend the money they are asking for the products, even though I make more money. Economy and cost of goods just doesn't make sense any more. Plus, I don't go out as much to fulfill the need either. That doesn't mean however that I want to see them go.

Another factor is that there are too many greedy landlords charging extortionate monthly/yearly rates. Also comes with expensive parking charges for the consumer.

[@sbclaridge]

Surprised, but not surprised at the same time. Several US retailers have tried to expand to Canada and later closed their operations in the latter. WHBM and Chico's (same company) also come to mind, having expanded into Ontario only to permanently close their stores there during the COVID-19 pandemic. It's harder to say this for Canadian businesses expanding into the USA (eg. Aritzia), given the larger market of the latter. It's just too bad that Nordstrom couldn't have at least stayed in Vancouver, given the proximity to their Seattle home base.

[@kayflip2233]

Target, Nordstrom and other big US chains can't survive in Canada because Canadians are struggling just to survive with the market dynamics of low salaries, high housing costs, high living costs, high taxes, high transportation costs etc. Shopping is the last thing on their minds.

They are not always the cheapest route.

[@eddie-xi6ls]

Canadians living within proximity of a Nordstrom Store in the U.S. will still shop there. I recall a few years ago when Target opened multiple stores in Canada only to close a few years later. Apparently prices were higher in Canada and quality was less than what was offered in the U.S. stores which was why Target wasn't profitable resulting in permanent closures.

[@yvonnem.langlois5197]

The problem with target was, keeping the shelves stocked and the lack of good deals, like Canadians experienced in the U.S. when visiting there. Americans have more buying power due to their sheer numbers (population).
