About Nordstrom at Stanford Shopping Center
Nordstrom store 422 is one of the four department stores at Stanford Shopping Center, along Arboretum Road at Orchard Lane. It opened in November 1984, a few months before Neiman Marcus arrived. It stays open an hour past the center's general closing time Monday to Saturday and the center lists a rideshare pick-up and drop-off zone in front of SoulCycle and Nordstrom.
The store page lists departments for women, men, kids, shoes and beauty, plus home goods and designer new arrivals, with brands such as Gucci, Nike, Madewell and Zella.
