The Dulles Town Center store is expected to remain open until 8 September, and its closure will affect around 150 non-seasonal employees.

Nordstrom stores president Jamie Nordstrom said: "When it comes to store investments, we feel it makes the most sense to look at the total market area versus individual stores.
“In looking at the greater DC market, we feel we can serve our customers better at our other area stores and online.”
The company stated that the store has been operating for the past 15 years and its operating agreement is set to expire.
Notwithstanding the closure, Nordstrom will continue to operate in the DC area with five other full-line stores, including Tysons Corner Center, Montgomery Mall, Fashion Centre at Pentagon City, Annapolis Mall and The Mall in Columbia.
