Ready to rack up some deals? Nordstrom Rack opens its highly anticipated Lakeside Village location on Thursday, Oct. 23. We visited the pre-opening shopping party for a first look and a little deal hunting.

Rack took over the huge space of the former Bed, Bath & Beyond. Women’s clothing takes up the majority of the store, but there’s plenty for men + children. There’s a solid selection of beauty products and accessories, and the shoe section seemed endless.

The pre-opening was packed, so expect long lines this weekend.

If you’ve never visited a Nordstrom Rack, here’s what to expect:

  • Marked-down prices on all items
  • Plenty of free parking — the entrance is right by a parking lot on the south side of Lakeside Village
  • Designer brands like Free People, Lilly Pulitzer, Eileen Fisher, Valentino, and Gucci
  • In-store pickup for online orders

Pro tip: The store opens at 9 a.m., but line up early. One lucky guest will win a $1,000 gift card at 8:45 a.m.
