Nordstrom Inc. plans to close its full-line department store at Galleria Dallas, ending a long-term presence at the regional mall. The 200,000-square-foot store is scheduled to cease operations on May 16, marking the departure of one of the center’s original tenants. Nordstrom has operated at the property since the mall opened in 1996, giving the closure added significance for the center’s merchandising lineup.
The forthcoming shutdown follows an earlier contraction of Nordstrom’s footprint at Galleria Dallas. According to the Dallas Business Journal, the retailer previously closed its third-floor area at the store during the COVID pandemic. That level comprised approximately 47,000 square feet, indicating that Nordstrom had already reduced its commitment at the mall before this final exit.
Despite the closure, Nordstrom will retain a presence in the broader Dallas-Fort Worth market. The company will continue to operate two full-line stores in the region, one at NorthPark Center in Dallas and another at Stonebriar Centre in Frisco. In addition, Nordstrom maintains a network of 10 Nordstrom Rack clearance stores in Dallas-Fort Worth, including a location that opened in late 2025 at The Gates of Prosper.
Galleria Dallas remains a large-scale retail destination, spanning about 3 million square feet with more than 200 stores. The center is managed by Trademark Property Co., which oversees day-to-day operations and tenant coordination at the mall. The loss of Nordstrom will create a sizable vacancy, but the center continues to attract new concepts and brands to its lineup.
In recent periods, Galleria Dallas has added eight new tenants across a range of categories. The latest arrivals include ALO, Aritzia, Helzberg 1915, Kids Foot Locker, Patissery, Rolife, Urban Plant and Watson. These additions highlight ongoing leasing activity at the property even as one of its longest-standing department store tenants prepares to depart.
The combination of an anchor department store closing and a growing roster of specialty retailers underscores an evolving tenant mix at Galleria Dallas. While Nordstrom’s exit will reshape the mall’s large-format space, recent store openings indicate that the center is still drawing interest from national and specialty retailers as it adjusts to changing retail demand in the Dallas-Fort Worth market.
