Nordstrom Rack is set to bring a 30,000-square-foot burst of bargain hunting to Pinnacle at Turkey Creek in west Knoxville, with doors scheduled to open Thursday, June 25, 2026. The center plans to kick things off with grand opening festivities at 8 a.m., then let shoppers in at 9 a.m. The off-price retailer will slide into the Turkey Creek lineup near Buffalo Wild Wings and Sono Bello, touting discounts of up to 70% on apparel, shoes, beauty, and home goods.
The retailer's official new-store listing pegs the Pinnacle address at 11417 Parkside Drive and notes the location "Opens June 25," according to Nordstrom Rack. Its pre-opening page invites locals to RSVP for preview shopping parties and links out to grand opening details on the center's event calendar, while also highlighting the chain's usual mix of grand opening sweepstakes and early shopping perks.
The Store And The Company
In a company press release, Nordstrom said the Turkey Creek Rack will come in at about 30,000 square feet and will offer services such as online order pickup and easy returns as part of a broader expansion strategy, according to PR Newswire. "We look forward to being a part of the Knoxville community," Nordstrom Rack president Gemma Lionello said in the announcement. The company added that Rack locations typically stock brands found at Nordstrom stores, marked down by up to 70%.
Grand Opening Plans And Perks
The center's event calendar lays out a June 25 grand opening celebration that starts at 8 a.m. with music, giveaways, and early-access activities before the 9 a.m. opening bell, per Pinnacle at Turkey Creek. The new store information from Nordstrom also flags an opening day sweepstakes and a shot at a $1,000 gift card among the promotions. Early birds can expect limited-time freebies and extra markdowns folded into the day's festivities.
What It Means For Turkey Creek
Nordstrom said the new Rack location will expand its Tennessee footprint and bring additional local jobs to the area, according to PR Newswire. Hoodline first reported on the retailer's plan last June, when Nordstrom announced it had picked Turkey Creek for its next Knoxville move. The arrival of Nordstrom Rack underscores Turkey Creek's role as a regional shopping hub and builds on a run of recent tenant additions as the center continues to refresh its mix.
Local coverage in the Knoxville News Sentinel has also outlined opening day details and the store's placement within the shopping center. City and center hours may shift, so would-be Rack regulars are advised to keep an eye on the retailer's event page for any last-minute updates. Nordstrom Rack's debut caps a busy season of retail openings across the region.
