Throughout the spring and summer this year, department store chain Nordstrom is hosting 'Pop-In@Nordstrom Eats More' with a focus on entertaining.
The new pop-up shop will be running at select stores, providing consumers with the chance to stock up on a wide variety of aesthetically pleasing home goods and groceries. Since there are multiple stages to planning a party, the pop-up tackles everything from preparation to the main event and the cleanup that must take place afterward. To inspire hosts, Nordstrom is also sharing recipes and how-tos such as assembling floral arrangements or cheese platters.
Pop-In@Nordstrom is an ongoing series of pop-up shops curated by Olivia Kim, the Director of Creative Projects for Nordstrom. Previous pop-ups held at the department store have explored other themes such as K-beauty, poolside glamor and dogs.
