Nordstrom Closing At Dulles Town Center

DULLES, VA — A touch of high-end elegance is leaving Dulles Town Center effective Sept. 8. Nordstrom announced Friday it will close the full-line store at 21090 Dulles Town Circle. That leaves just one other Nordstrom in Northern Virginia: the store at Tysons Corner Center.

"Our strategy is focused on our customers, (and) when it comes to store investments, we feel it makes the most sense to look at the total market area versus individual stores," Jamie Nordstrom, president of stores for Nordstrom, said in a statement. "In looking at the greater D.C. market, we feel we can serve our customers better at our other area stores and online.

"We've been fortunate to build great relationships with our customers and employees at our Dulles Town Center store for the past 15 years however, our operating agreement is set to expire and closing this store is the best decision for us."

In the statement, Nordstrom said the closure will impact about 150 non-seasonal employees but that "given the number of stores in the area, we will be able to offer roles to anyone who wants to stay on with us."

Nordstrom will continue to serve greater D.C. area customers at five other full-line stores, including Tysons Corner Center: Montgomery Mall, Fashion Centre at Pentagon City, Annapolis Mall and The Mall in Columbia.
