Store Closings: Nordstrom (1) and Torrid (30 more)

* Nordstrom (Seattle) will close its full-line department store in the Galleria Dallas in May, The Dallas Morning News reports. The store represented the retailer’s first locale in the city when it opened in 1996. Its exit leaves the market with two other full-line Nordstroms (in NorthPark Center in Dallas and the Stonebriar Centre in the suburb of Frisco) and a still-growing number of its discount Rack chain.

“We believe we’ll be best able to serve customers in the area by leveraging our surrounding stores and through our digital channels,” the company told the News, which noted the Galleria closing follows the shuttering of Nordstroms last year in St. Louis, Mo., and Santa Monica, Calif. As for the Galleria, it recently added several new tenants, including Aritzia.

* Torrid Inc. (City of Industry, Calif.) has substantially finished downsizing its store fleet. The plus-size apparel chain said it shuttered 151 stores in 2025, which represents a major chunk of the 180 locales it previously said it planned to close.

In a call with analysts to discuss its performance, Torrid executives said closing the final 30 planned locales will be completed by mid-year The chain currently has 483 stores, down from a peak of 635 a few years ago.
