Reverend Kordell Kekoa officiated the blessing ceremony in front of an audience which included key visitor industry officials, Ala Moana Center executive management, and those in development and construction closely involved with the project.

In addition, nearly 30 Nordstrom Shoe and Nordstrom Rack employees -- several who have been with the company for over 30 years -- were also in attendance.

Nordstrom has had an island presence for 39 years operating leased shoe departments in Liberty House stores.

In 1997, Liberty House terminated their lease agreement with Nordstrom, at which point Nordstrom opened stand-alone shoe stores at Ala Moana Center.

In 2000, Nordstrom opened a Nordstrom Rack store at Ward Centre.

Two years later, Nordstrom consolidated and relocated a brand new store to Ward Centre offering shoes for men, women and children under one roof.

The new Nordstrom at Ala Moana Center will offer a wide selection of quality fashion apparel, along with shoes and accessories for men, women and children. The store also will feature a restaurant and espresso bar.

In addition to Nordstrom, the Ala Moana Center expansion project will include a new 800-stall parking garage; an additional 25,000 square feet of retail development along Kapiolani Boulevard; and the expansion of the mall's third level by another 45,000 square feet connecting the Nordstrom store with the mall's existing third level.
