Nordstrom's founder had no retail experience at all when he opened his store.

He worked for years in backbreaking minimum wage jobs and then became a potato farmer, saving up until he had the chance to open a small shoe store.

When he was only 11yearsold, he was forced to drop out of school. Then, when he turned 16, he packed his bags and left his home and family to move to America — arriving with only $5 in his pocket.

This is the story of how Nordstrom became a top luxury retailer in the United States, carrying designer brands like Gucci, Burberry, Prada, OffWhite, and more.
