Hundreds lined up for Nordstrom Rack’s opening of its Marina Pacifica location at 8:00AM today, with a celebration the chain titled Rally at the Rack.

Doors opened at 9:00AM, and the first 1,000 customers received free tote bags.

Close to 1,000 individuals attended the opening day festivities, according to Nordstrom Rack spokesperson Jessica Canfield. 

Attendees had the opportunity to win $100 gift cards and, for one winner, a $1,000 shopping spree.

The location is 24,000 square feet, and inhabits the location that formerly housed Loehmann’s.

Nordstrom Rack previously had a 33,000-square foot location at City Place in downtown Long Beach, but the store was closed when the lease expired in January of last year, after 11 years of business.
