Nordstrom
Chicago is a city with a large group of middle-class consumers, including active young adults that want to look their best; thus it is only natural that the Nordstrom Michigan Ave location in River North is tremendously popular. This multi-billion dollar department store empire of apparel and fashion is a far cry from its early origins as a shoe store in Seattle in 1901. Founded by Swedish immigrant John W. Nordstrom, the business expanded over the generations, eventually opening the Nordstrom Michigan Ave store as part of the Shops at North Bridge mall. The variety of products offered by the company has ballooned since its founding, now spanning shoes, fashion, restaurants and even its own bank so that customers can earn points when they use Nordstrom-branded credit cards. The Nordstrom Michigan Ave store has become one of the most popular Nordstrom locations, enough that plans are underway to replace the north-facing facade as full-height windows to attract even more customers. The area around Michigan Ave can be quite busy, so rather than cutting into your shopping time looking for a parking spot, its’ a great deal to book Nordstrom Michigan Ave parking ahead of time with ParkWhiz.
