Downtown mall stung by loss of Nordstrom
Nordstrom, which opened with the mall in 1995, left a gaping 210,000-square-foot hole in Circle Centre mall. It is a particularly tough space to fill since department stores have seen their market share decline more than half in 20 years and need less space.
