Our Work
Nordstrom Rack
Nordstrom is a retailer offering clothing, shoes, and accessories for men, women, and kids. Nationwide Fixture Installations was contracted to self-perform custom installation services at over 40 Nordstrom stores across the United States, with projects ranging from refreshes, to remodels, to completed new store installs. NFI completed the assignments on time and on budget, and received a rave testimonial from our client contact.
NFI came to this opportunity through our relationship with Wisconsin-based custom millwork manufacturer TJ Hale. We initially began by executing several store refreshes on a “time & materials” basis. After several location refreshes, we pivoted to hard bids on projects.
For each installation project that was added to the schedule, NFI assigned a crew of 4-5 experienced Nordstrom installers, including main Nordstrom leads. NFI worked with operations to adequately staff each job with the most adept crew possible and were eventually able to build a Nordstrom-specific millwork tool kit, as well as lists of sight specific consumables that will be required. Remodel/refreshes at the various Nordstrom locations can be different each time, with some projects lasting one week or less, while others continue for one to two months with multiple mobilizations to accommodate the store’s hours and site conditions.
The result of each store is a new or refreshed Nordstrom Rack store ready to be merchandised and open to the public. The stores have a clean, simple design with a focus on the product, and we provide top of the line installs to help them achieve that goal.
Over the past three years, NFI has steadily built and optimized the program, training multiple installers and leads, and working with TJ Hale and Nordstrom to develop a “Nordstrom Install Bible” which includes FAQs and Common Issues related to the install, sign-off and approval forms, first day/first hour reports, site specific plans and, shop drawings, etc. Nordstrom is extremely happy with TJ Hale, helping them to become the #1 millwork provider for all new stores due in large part to our teams’ install performances and professionalism.
