Nordstrom Family

The Nordstrom family refers to the founding and ownership lineage of Nordstrom Inc., a prominent American luxury department store chain. It began with John W. Nordstrom and Carl F. Wallin opening a shoe store in 1901, later joined by the Nordstrom family through John W. Nordstrom’s partnership. Over generations, family members have managed and influenced the company's strategic direction. While Nordstrom is now a publicly traded company, the family's legacy remains a significant part of its history, shaping its reputation for quality service and upscale retailing.
