Nordstrom returning to SF. Where, what will be different.

Nordstrom is coming back to help you try your online orders.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — An iconic major retailer is set to return to San Francisco two years after leaving the city, however there's a difference.

Nordstrom is coming back to help you try your online orders.

The city's planning commission approved the opening of a "Nordstrom Local".

According to The San Francisco Standard, that hub will fill up an empty storefront in Pacific Heights on Fillmore St. near Pine St.

It will not be a traditional store with clothes and other products up for sale.

Instead, it will provide shoppers a brick and mortar store to pick up and try on online orders.

They can also make returns or get clothes altered.
