Nordstrom Sets Opening Date At SoNo Collection Mall In Norwalk

NORWALK, CT — An opening date has been set for one of the anchor stores at the under construction SoNo Collection mall in Norwalk. Store officials announced Monday that Nordstrom Norwalk will open on Friday, Oct. 11, with a pre-opening party scheduled for the day before.

The new three-level, 140,000 square-foot store will be the retailer’s second in Connecticut, following Nordstrom Westfarms in Farmington, according to a press release. It will also feature four shoe departments, expansive cosmetic and accessories areas and popular brands for the entire family to enjoy.

According to the store's announcement, many of the mall's other tenants will also open that day.

To celebrate the store's opening, Nordstrom will host a pre-opening party on Thursday, Oct. 10, called "Norwalk Night Out," which will offer guests a first-glance at the space and an exclusive chance to shop before the store officially opens for business the next day.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to enjoy cocktails, food and entertainment. Men’s and women’s fashion presentations highlighting new styles for the fall season will also rotate throughout the evening.

Tickets cost $100 per person and can be purchased here. All proceeds will be donated to two local non-profit organizations: Fairfield County’s Community Foundation and the Domestic Violence Crisis Center.

"Taking care of our communities is core to who we are and an important part of how we do business," Nordstrom Senior Vice President and Northeast Regional Manager Paul Morton said in a statement. "We’re thrilled that proceeds from Norwalk Night Out will benefit two deserving organizations right here in Norwalk whose important work supports the families and young people in this community."

Entertainment providers such as Pinstripes, a dining experience that offers bowling and bocce, and a Yard House sports bar and grill, as well as stores like J. Jill, Sephora, Chico's and Soma have also announced their intent to open at the SoNo Collection.
