That is North America's third largest ZARA store. Only the Montreal Centre Ville and Chicago Michigan Ave stores are larger.

Along with a huge ZARA, the H&M at the Eaton Centre will be one of the largest in the entire chains inventory of stores.

Couple that with what I believe is going to be the second largest Nordstom store in the chain, after the downtown Seattle store. And the Hudson's Bay / Saks store, which at 1 million square feet is the largest department store in North America after Macy's in Manhattan.

Second largest Nordstroms but not a flagship like Vancouver's. Hmm.

What difference does the flagship title mean? The Toronto store will have everything that the Vancouver store has.

Who gets to decide? And what's the difference exactly? Does it mean that the Toronto store will have more of "not-everything" and the Vancouver store will have less of everything?

Haha good question. I guess because Nordstroms is a Seattle based store they've already got thousands of Vancouverites as customers coming to their Seattle store that they figured that Vancouver should get one of only a few "flagship" stores. Will look into it to see.

Few means multiple. That is Vancouver doesn't have the only flagship Nordstrom in the chain or in Canada when the Eaton Centre store opens.

Yeah, well we had a Nordstrom's long before all y'all... so na-na-nana-na

But we're finally just getting a Nike Factory, so I guess we're not that cool! lol

First isn't always best. We'll have 3 stores to choose from soon too.

I meant few in the company. At the time it was announced Vancouver was to get the only flagship in the country. And 230 000 square feet I believe. Not sure how much bigger the new Toronto one will be.

I think the flagship with Nordstroms means a few exclusive brands, newest design concept, and a few exclusive services not available at a normal Nordstroms.

I'm sure all their stores will be flagships in their own unique way.

I mean, should companies even be opening non-flagships stores in this day and age?

This is a silly argument, but I'll step in for some clarification. Nordstrom Eaton Centre will be a flagship like Nordstrom Pacific Centre. The Vancouver location is larger, however.

they do all the time, H&M has something like 23 in-house brands and the flagship will carry all 23 whereas a mall/suburb store may only carry 15 - there are some H&M stores that don't carry mens or kids
