Nordstroms price level? come on mug. ....
it's just an upper end department store not a full blown Louis Vuitton. I'm sure OKC has more than enough people to pay at "Nordstrom's price level". My goodness, countless many smaller and far less GDP cities have Nordstrom, sister city Tulsa has a Saks for christs sake (Saks is higher than Nordstrom btw).
and there are only 3 or 4 that perform at the highest price points, in order: Vancouver, Chicago, Seattle Bellevue. And even then it's mostly tourists (from China) that buy the most expensive things in the stores.
Im perfectly sure OKC could support a full blown Nordstrom, whether they want to invest/bring one - OAK may represent the best shot or perhaps a development downtown. I seriously doubt they will come to Penn or Quail, those days (mall expansion) are long gone. OKC could have had a chance at that offering incentives back B.A. (before Amazon - Yes, Amazon is Nordstrom's biggest competitor).
There honestly isn't much in Nordstrom higher priced than Dillards or some other mainstream store anyway. Nordstrom just tends to buy from higher quality vendors and their real high end market is those who want the customer experience not necessarily just the clothes. Speaking from a former Nordstrom Corporate employee (btw).
The Penn Square Dillards are among the nicest in the chain (both the womens and mens/home stores). They have some similar brands to Nordstrom. They are not Nordstrom, of course, but Dillards has a Creed perfume sales area, and it sells well (think $400/bottle EDPs). They are top of the line stores for OKC and for Dillards, as a whole. I think OKC could support a Nordstrom, just not sure there is an area they could go, unless JcPenney decides to close the Penn store (or Macys).
