Nordstrom is closing all of its stores in Canada by this summer, and Canadians have a lot to say about the announcement, while some don’t know how to react.
Some Canadians are sad about the news; others said they’d never shopped there.
Many people think Canada doesn’t seem to work out for US retailers, though Nordstrom lasted much longer than Target did when they tried to enter the Canadian market.
These are some of the best reactions to the Nordstrom closure announcement.

Some have raised concerns with Nordstrom’s pricing, saying its prices were too high.
One person thinks losing Nordstrom is a fair tradeoff because we just got the Chicken Big Mac.
We lose Nordstrom but gain the chicken Big Mac. I’ll take that trade
