How To Experience the New York Stock Exchange

By Gabriella Hammond

September 4, 2023

Want to experience the New York Stock Exchange? It’s not the most obvious NYC attraction, but it’s one of the most defining places for the city. This birthplace of businesses will forever stand as an anchor of Lower Manhattan’s financial community.

Compared to its early days, NYSE visits to the stock exchange have changed quite a bit. But it’s still worth visiting today. Like so many New York landmarks, the stock exchange isn’t just a building, but a critical part of the city’s history. And its influence stretches beyond the borders of New York to the rest of the country and even the world.

Excited about visiting the New York Stock Exchange yet? In this article, I’ll explain what exactly it is, what you can see when you go, and the best way to experience it.

What is the New York Stock Exchange?

The New York Stock Exchange — also known as the “Big Board” — is one of the oldest and largest stock exchanges on the planet. Located on Wall Street in Lower Manhattan, the NYSE stands as both a symbol of capitalism and as the financial center of the U.S.

Easily the most important landmark on Wall Street, the stock exchange practically created the Financial District by marking the neighborhood as an area of business. Wall Street was actually named for a real wall, built by Dutch settlers to keep out British forces. This wall served as an unofficial trading post for residents, beginning the business traditions that would continue in this same location for hundreds of years.

When the main building was built in 1903, it impressed everyone with its size and majesty. The opening solidified the prominence of the New York Stock Exchange and all but guaranteed that Lower Manhattan would be a neighborhood of commerce.

And it still is today.

A brief history of the NYSE

It all started on May 17, 1792, when 24 brokers and merchants met under a buttonwood tree. At the time, this tree was the tallest thing in Lower Manhattan, which, in retrospect, is a pretty appropriate setting to sign an agreement that would grow to play a very significant role in both the United States and global economies.

It was under this tree that these two dozen individuals signed the Buttonwood Agreement, establishing the grounds for trading at what was then called the New York Stock & Exchange Board.

That name was shortened in 1863 to what we know today: the New York Stock Exchange.

Guide tip: To commemorate the document that led to its creation, the stock exchange planted a new buttonwood tree out front. The tree isn’t nearly as full or towering as the original, but it’s the symbolism that counts. Snap a pic in front of the tree and tell all your friends you saw a replica of the most important tree in NYC — then watch as they’re amazed.

The NYSE trading floor: A New York legend

The NYSE has always been an exciting place with exciting things happening every minute. Up until the early 2000s, the trading floor was full of people frantically running around, shouting numbers and exchanging hand signals with each other.

The exchange even had a special trading floor clock without hour markers. There are only five-minute markers, because each trader had just five minutes to trade their stock. Talk about pressure!

You can imagine how hectic it got in there since, up until the past few decades, all the trading was done on the trading floor itself. These days, with the rapid advances in technology and the internet, most trades around the globe have transitioned to electronic systems. The NYSE is becoming one of the few remaining trading floors where humans are still actively trading in person.

Now, that doesn’t mean it’s been abandoned. In fact, in 2007, the exchange adopted a hybrid model that combines electronic and floor-based trading. It makes the trading floor all the more special because it combines the traditions of the past with the innovations of the future.

The trading floor today

Although the trading floor isn’t as lively as it once was — with the decrease of frantic people running around and volume of open outcries — it is still just as exciting today. Currently, there are approximately 500-1,000 people trading on the floor each day.

Possibly the biggest change in the demographics of the Exchange is the increase of outside guests — and we don’t mean tourists wanting to visit Wall Street. There have been more and more representatives from journalists across the world. About 33 media outlets come in and out of the building every day to broadcast from the NYSE floor.

Is the NYSE open to visitors?

Unfortunately, the exchange is no longer accessible to the public. Here’s why.

After the September 11th attacks and the increase in security that followed, many buildings once open to the public were severely limited or shut down altogether. For the stock exchange, it meant no more public tours and security stands outside the entrance. A fence was even added to the front of the building to prevent pedestrians from getting too close.

Guide Tip: While the stock exchange is not accessible, around the corner is another famous financial building — the Federal Reserve, a bank the size of a block that has a massive gold vault inside.

How to experience the NYSE even if you can’t go inside

Despite the new security measures, there are still many ways to experience the New York Stock Exchange without going inside. So there is no need to feel left out!

Here are a few suggestions if you want to visit the NYSE.

Listen for the bell

Every weekday, the opening bell of the NYSE is rung at 9:30 a.m. to mark the start of the day’s trading. The closing bell is then rung at 4 p.m. to mark the end. When the guest ringing the bell fails to ring it for the acceptable amount of time — 10 seconds for the opening bell and 15 seconds for the closing bell – it’s not uncommon for the floor to erupt into boos (they take their bell ringing very seriously). If you are lucky enough, and happen to show up on the right day and time, you just might hear it emanating from outside.

In the past, the bells used to be rung by floor managers, but they later started inviting executives, public figures, and celebrities to ring them, which became a daily event. Who knows who you may spot by the NYSE and its surrounding areas if you show up at the right bell-time?

The opening and closing bells are one of those things both New Yorkers and non-New Yorkers alike have to experience at least once in their lifetime. Just don’t show up on a weekend or a U.S. holiday when the bell definitely won’t be ringing.

Snap a selfie with a brand banner

For the past two decades, the stock exchange has started a tradition of hanging “full façade” banners to celebrate and market special events and their listed companies.

Some of the past banners include the huge logos of:

On special holidays, like Independence Day, the American flag will hang proudly across the building. There’s no way you could miss it. The NYSE loves to build their brand with companies they work with. Maybe you’ll spot the logo of a business you love hanging grandly in front of the building.

Don’t feel shy about snapping a picture (or a few — no shame) in front of it. You get the iconic New York Stock Exchange and a larger-than-life example of NYC marketing without even having to go to Times Square . That’s a double whammy.

Take a tour of Wall Street

Unlike other monuments, experiencing the New York Stock Exchange isn’t as simple as buying a ticket. Most people walk right by or snap a picture and leave. It’s the history and significance that make it special. But unlike the Statue of Liberty or the Empire State Building , this history isn’t displayed in a museum or exhibit for you to browse on your own.

The best way to learn about it is with a guide — but not just any guide, a Wall Street insider. That’s just what our guided tours of Wall Street do. You have two options when you visit Wall Street: an in-depth tour for NYC finance aficionado or an entertaining overview of Wall Street, New York City.

Here are our two Wall Street tours:

• 2 hours: Our award-winning Financial Crisis Tour is our in-depth tour. We cover the famous landmarks and dig into what happened during the 2008 financial crisis and its long-term effects on the stock market. We’ll even teach the finance lingo related to the crisis.
• 75 minutes: If you prefer something a bit shorter that delves into both the history of Manhattan and its financial hub, then the Wall Street Insider Tour is for you. You’ll still be touring with an insider, but the focus is more on the overall history of the American economy.

The NYSE hangs banners for their listed companies and for special occasions, but there are also certain days throughout the year reserved for special events.

One of these is during the holidays. Every year, there is a Christmas tree lighting on Broad Street, in front of the New York Stock Exchange. Lights are coiled around the exchange’s Corinthian columns and around a massive pine tree. The moment when the single switch is flipped to light up the entire NYSE is truly an amazing sight. Listed company sponsors, artists, and partners all stop by to celebrate the holiday season. It’s one of the oldest Christmas tree traditions that brings the public to the NYSE.

What are some other things to do on Wall Street?

Wall Street has plenty of other fun and historical sites to see. Before or after your visit to the stock exchange, you can check out:

• Fearless Girl, a bronze statue promoting female empowerment, directly across from the NYSE
• Federal Hall , a former treasury turned museum dedicated to George Washington’s presidential inauguration
• Trinity Church, a historic Gothic Revival church with a pretty cool Hamilton connection
• Fraunces Tavern, the city’s longest-running restaurant

Visit Wall Street NYC for the NYSE and more

It’s difficult to process all of this information about one building while simply standing outside the entrance, especially if you’re trying to do it on your own.

If you think about it, very few landmarks in the city still actively serve their original purpose. The New York Stock Exchange may be quieter than it once was, but the culture and buzz is as resounding as ever. However you feel about money or business, the stock exchange is a must-visit. Its creation gave New York power and status that still, to this day, contributes to making the city one of the greatest in America.

That’s part of why we love this corner of NYC here at The Wall Street Experience and enjoy sharing our insider perspective. On our Wall Street walking tours , you won’t learn just the history (though we’ve got plenty of that, too). We share real-world stories from people who’ve worked inside the financial trenches of Wall Street. Their insight will help you see this place in a new light — not as facts and figures or even dollar signs but through the eyes of the people who have made it what it is today.

New York City Tours

New york city sightseeing tours, new york stock exchange.

For visitors, it’s always mind-blowing to see where most of the world’s stocks, bonds and common commodities travel through, and gives a sense of reality to the fragility of currency. It’s just one of those places you always hear about, but never get the chance to see. So, while you’re visiting Manhattan, New York, make sure to stop by, and give the building some time of the day, so you can be the one to return home with a little knowledge of the largest stock exchange.  To make sure you learn all about it, take the NY See It All Tour or the NYC Freedom Tour to see the New York Stock Exchange on Wall Street.  The New York Stock Exchange is a popular stop on OnBoard’s sightseeing tours.  Our Tour Guides walk the group off Broadway onto Wall Street and provide the tour group a historical narrative on the New York Stock Exchange, as well as the history of Wall Street and Federal Hall, where George Washington was inaugurated.  This brisk walk down to Wall Street takes only 10 minutes.

The NYSE is situated on Broad Street. The Visitor Gallery has been shut down since the terrorist attack in 2001, and there is no sign of whether it will open again. However we get a wonderful perspective of the spectacular Corinthian columns on the front of the building. The Exchange was established in 1792 when 24 New York City companies and suppliers finalized the Buttonwood Contract under a buttonwood shrub.  Since then, the NYSE has expanded to become the international icon it is these days.

From the NYSE, you can head back to Broadway and stroll down to the popular Wall Street Bull, one of the best picture possibilities in the area. Designed by then-unknown artist Arturo Di Modica, this icon since 1989 features a 7,000 pound version of a asking for bull with flaring nose that are touched or rubbed for best of fortune by many investors in the day. The statue was motivated by the 1987 Crash.

Visiting the New York Stock Exchange

You can't go in but the Financial District is worth a look

The New York Stock Exchange is the largest stock exchange in the world, and billions of dollars worth of stocks are traded there every day. The Financial District that surrounds it is central to the importance of New York City. But because of tightened security measures after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, which occurred mere blocks away from the New York Stock Exchange  (NYSE), the building is no longer open to the public for tours. 

The History 

New York City has been home to securities markets since 1790 when Alexander Hamilton issued bonds to deal with debt from the American Revolution. The New York Stock Exchange, which was originally called The New York Stock and Exchange Board, was first organized on March 8, 1817. In 1865, the exchange opened in its current location in Manhattan's Financial District . In 2012, the New York Stock Exchange was acquired by InterContinental Exchange.

The Building

You can view the New York Stock Exchange building from the outside at Broad and Wall streets. Its famous facade of six marble Corinthian columns below a pediment sculpture called "Integrity Protecting the Works of Man" is often draped with a huge American flag. You can get there by subway trains 2, 3, 4, or 5 to Wall Street or the R or W to Rector Street.

If you want to learn more about the financial institutions in New York, you can visit the Federal Reserve Bank of New York , which offers free tours to visit the vaults and see the gold with advance booking. It is also in the Financial District and offera insight into the inner workings of Wall Street.  

The Trading Floor

Although you can no longer visit the trading floor, do not get too disappointed. It is no longer the chaotic scene that's dramatized on TV shows and movies, with traders waving slips of paper, yelling stock prices, and negotiating million-dollar deals in a matter of seconds. Back in the 1980s, there were up to 5,500 people working on the trading floor. But with the advance of technology and paperless transactions, the number of traders on the floor has dwindled to about 700 people, and it is now a much calmer, quieter environment if still loaded with daily tension.

The Ringing of the Bell

The ringing of the opening and closing bell of the market at 9:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. guarantees that no trades will take place before the opening or after the close of the market. Starting in the 1870s, before microphones and loudspeakers were invented, a large Chinese gong was used. But in 1903, when the NYSE moved to its current building, the gong was replaced by a brass bell, which is now electrically operated at the start and end of each trading day.

Sights Nearby

The Financial District is the scene of a number of different sights in addition to the NYSE. They include the Charging Bull, also called the Bull of Wall Street, which is located in Bowling Green, near the intersection of Broadway and Morris streets;  Federal Hall ; City Hall Park; and the Woolworth Building. It is easy and free to see the exterior of the Woolworth Building, but if you want to take a tour, you will need advance reservations. Battery Park is also within walking distance. From there, you can take a ferry to visit the  Statue of Liberty  and  Ellis Island .

Tours Nearby

This area is rich in history and architecture, and you can learn about it on these walking tours: History of Wall Street and 9/11, Lower Manhattan: Secrets of Downtown, and the Brooklyn Bridge. And if you're into superheroes, the Super Tour of NYC Comics Heroes and More might be just the ticket.

Food Nearby

If you need a bite to eat nearby,  Financier Patisserie  is a great spot for light eats, sweets, and coffee and has several Financial District locations. If you want something more substantial,  Delmonico's , one of NYC's oldest restaurants, is also nearby.  Fraunces Tavern , which first opened as a tavern in 1762 and was later headquarters to George Washingon and home to the Department of Foreign Affairs during the Revolutionary War, is another historic restaurant where you can sit down for a meal, as well as tour its museum.

New York Stock Exchange

The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is the world’s largest stock exchange, located at 11 Wall Street in Lower Manhattan. Each day approximately $150+ Trillion US dollars worth of stocks and market funds are traded. The main building of the exchange is located at 18 Broad Street and was designated a National Historic Landmark, along with the 11th Street location in 1978.

The NYSE is run by NYSE Euronet as part of a merger of the NYSE and the electronic stock management corporation, Euronext. It is considered the “seat” of American Finance and started in 1792 when 24 New York City stockbrokers and merchants signed the Buttonwood Agreement (signed under a buttonwood tree).

The NYSE’s opening and closing bells note the start and end of trading each day at 9:30 am and 4 pm EST. After September 11, 2001, visitors are not allowed to visit the exchange but may tour the exterior and start their tour of the Financial District’s landmarks – including the Federal Reserve Bank, National Museum of the American Indian/U.S. Custom’s House, Museum of American Finance, the Fraunces Tavern Museum, and the Federal Hall National Memorial.

HOW TO GET TO THE NYSE

Located at the intersection of Wall Street and Broad Street, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is by far the world's largest stock exchange and is the symbol of American capitalism.  

The massive facade of the building is actually not on Wall Street but on Broad.

HISTORY + DESIGN

When you turn the corner to see the Broad Street side of the Exchange, you will be standing in a location of great historical significance.

Prior to 1792, businessmen who engaged in the trading of goods and money met under a tree to transact business.

It was a sycamore tree but known more commonly as a buttonwood tree.

Thus in 1792, when 24 stockbrokers signed an agreement that would regulate their dealings, they named it the Buttonwood Agreement.

25 years later, the members of the Agreement drafted an official constitution and the New York Stock & Exchange Board was born.

In 1863 its name would be shortened t o the New York Stock Exchange.

The first location of the NYSE was a room rented in a small for $200 a month in 1817 located at 40 Wall Street (now the location of the Trump Building, one of the top 10 skyscrapers in New York City .  

When the original NYSE HQ’s were burned down in the Great Fire of New York (1835), the Exchange moved to a temporary headquarters and then again in 1865 moved to 10-12 Broad Street.

As the Exchange grew in business, a larger, grander building was needed.

Construction of the current NYSE building began in 1901 and George B. Post was the architect (known for his neo-classical buildings around New York including the glorious Customs House at Bowling Green).  

It took two years to complete the Exchange and costs ran over the estimated price. In the end, the final cost was $4 million.  

R.H. Thomas, chairman of the Building Committee justified the what-was-then substantial amount of money by saying,  “Where so many of our members spend the active years of their lives, they are entitled to the best that architectural ingenuity and engineering skill can produce.”  

Little could he know that a century later, the price of the building was no more than a typical trader’s end of the year bonus!

Above the columns is a pediment with a sculpture designed by John Q.A. Ward (who also designed the over-life-size standing statue of George Washington on the steps of Federal Hall diagonally across from the Exchange.

Ward’s sculpture, called “Integrity Protecting the Works of Man” centers on the wing-hatted Mercury, the god of commerce.

To her left are representations of mining and agriculture and on her right, symbols of industry, s cience, and invention, all sources of American prosperity.    

THE TRADING FLOOR

Although you cannot visit the trading floor for security reasons, don’t feel too disappointed.

It is no longer the chaotic scene we’ve become familiar with throw movies and TV shows, with traders waving slips of paper, yelling stock prices, and negotiating million-dollar deals in a matter of seconds.  

Back in the 1980s, there were 5,500 people working on the trading floor.

But with the advance of technology and paperless transactions, the number of traders on the ground has dwindled to a mere 700 people and is now a much calmer, quieter environment.

Click the image for the interactive 360-degree view of the main trading floor.

Discovery Education  offers an online virtual visit to the NYSE trading floor.

If you are missing the good old days, you can see what a typical day of trading used to be like by watching movies like “Wall Street” with Michael Douglas, “ The Pursuit of Happiness” starring Will Smith, and “ Trading Places” starring Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy. 

THE RINGING OF THE BELL

The ringing of the bell at 9 am and again at 4 pm is more than a gesture - it guarantees the marketplace that no trades will take place before the opening or after the close of the market.

Starting in the 1870s, before microphones and loudspeakers were invented, used a large Chinese gong to let traders know to start or stop trading for the day.

But in 1903, when the Exchange moved to its current building, the gong was replaced by a brass bell which is now electrically operated.

Each of the 4 trading areas of the NYSE has its own bell which operates synchronously from one single control panel.  

You can see a detailed video history of the Exchange bell here.  

STUDENT GROUP VISITS

Unfortunately, the NYSE can no longer accommodate private requests for visits by school groups.

Taylor Swift Private Jet Map Sparks Debate

An animated map depicting all of the flights Taylor Swift 's private jets took last year has become a viral talking point on social media.

With Swift's hit "You Belong With Me" serving as the soundtrack, the illustration shows airplanes with two different tail numbers flying to various destinations around North America, across to the United Kingdom, and down to South America.

The clip —which was shared on X, formerly Twitter , after initially going viral on TikTok —showed a total of more than 175,000 miles flown over the course of 2023 between the two jets. As of press time, the video has garnered more than 25 million views on TikTok and over 38 million views on X.

Newsweek reached out to a representative of Swift via email for comment.

? https://t.co/zSZfGJvRT2 pic.twitter.com/exPaNfmK4K — Jozu 🇵🇦 (@JozuJoestar) April 21, 2024

Swift's private jet usage has been a talking point in recent years . In 2022, she faced backlash after a report by environmentally oriented marketing firm Yard found at that time that her extensive use of a private jet made her the biggest celebrity polluter of the year up to that point.

The report used publicly available data to compile a list of the top greenhouse gas-emitting celebrities, based on their routine use of private jets. Swift came out on top, with a total of 170 flights on her private jet that added up to nearly 16 days in the air.

" Taylor's jet is loaned out regularly to other individuals," a spokesperson for Swift told Newsweek at the time. "To attribute most or all of these trips to her is blatantly incorrect."

The conversation about Swift's jet use continued in 2023 , as the singer-songwriter flew between New York and Kansas City, Missouri, to see her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce . She also made trips between performances in South America for her Eras Tour. The star was criticized after it was revealed her private jet flights produced 138 tons of CO2 emissions in just three months.

While data provided by MyClimate Carbon Tracker stated Swift does not crack the top 30 celebrities when it comes to private jet carbon emissions, she has continued to be a talking point online whenever the topic is raised .

Such was the case on April 21, when the clip of Swift's purported 2023 jet use was shared on X in response to a post she had made regarding her newly released studio album, The Tortured Poets Department .

The post sparked a flood of comments from X users, with one writing: "All of this in one year is actually insane but somehow my straw is the problem."

In the same vein, another commented, "Crazy because all those flights probably account to like trillions of plastic straws."

Another wrote, "The music doesn't even slap for her to justify damaging the planet like this."

One detractor suggested that Swift had a fleet of private planes in her "driveway." Records provided by the Federal Aviation Authority's website show that Swift sold one of her two private jets in late January.

Taylor Swift: "Climate change!!!" Taylor Swift driveway: pic.twitter.com/uuQxOLb6p9 — Brian (@_b_lun) April 21, 2024

Another said, "She really be flying places she could take a tour bus in under 4 hours," in reference to the flights that were U.S.-based.

"The only climate she controlling is the plane's heater," read another post.

Amid the criticisms, a host of other X users defended Swift as they pointed out that much of her travel was due to her record-breaking Eras Tour, which is the first tour in history to have surpassed the billion-dollar mark in revenue.

"Mind you: she was on a world tour which is projected to boost the global economy by $80 billion," wrote one supporter , who added that Swift "caused massive revenue spikes in the food/hotel industries, local shops, etc. all while making massive donations aimed at feeding the poor. But that doesn't fit your narrative [I guess]."

mind you: she was on a world tour which is projected to boost the global economy by $80 billion. she caused massive revenue spikes in the food/hotel industries, local shops, etc. all while making massive donations aimed at feeding the poor. but that doesn’t fit your narrative ig https://t.co/xO5VhCXd8L — joshua (#1 ivy stan) (@TSlifestyle13) April 22, 2024

"What do y'all want her to do during tour?? Walk and swim there??" asked one.

"Yeah she was *checks notes* on a world tour," read another fan comment.

One X user called Swift a "QUEEN," while another suggested that a number of the critics online would likely use the same mode of transport if they had the chance.

"I'm not saying it's okay but everyone acting as if they wouldn't do the same if they had their own private jet," they said, adding a GIF for emphasis.

In 2023, pop superstar Swift embarked on an ambitious 21-month-long world tour, spanning 151 shows across five continents. On April 2 of this year, Swift was included for the first time in Forbes ' "World's Celebrity Billionaires" list.

The outlet noted that the 14-time Grammy winner became a billionaire in October , due in part to an "estimated $190 million post-tax earnings from her historic Eras Tour." Forbes also announced that Swift was "the first person to [become a billionaire] based solely on songwriting and performing."

According to a study from Greenly released earlier this month, Swift traveled nearly 37,053 miles, generating 77.5 tons of CO2e over almost 113 flight hours during the American leg of her nearly one-year tour. The study was conducted before Swift downsized to a single private jet.

• MAGA questions Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce's relationship
• Kathy Griffin reveals Taylor Swift MAGA fear

For her South American leg, the celebrated artist is believed to have emitted 61.6 tCO2e, having traveled 29,431 miles. Therefore, the Eras Tour has emitted 139 tons in CO2e emissions for 66,484 miles worth of travel for the North American and South American legs alone.

This does not consider the fact that Swift has also flown to Asia and Australia for her world tour and still has the European leg to go.

Swift was also estimated to have traveled 20,000 miles alone during the Super Bowl weekend to watch boyfriend Kelce play. She made two round trips across the Pacific Ocean for the Japan and Australian legs of the Eras Tour. These numbers are likely to continue this summer as the tour arrives in Europe.

Swift's publicist previously told The Associated Press that the singer "purchased more than double the carbon credits needed to offset all tour travel," before her tour began, but did not provide any further details.

Much of the controversy over Swift's private jet usage is due to what people deem as unnecessary travel. For instance, Swift was spotted traveling from Buenos Aires back to New York City in November 2023 before the Rio Shows began during the South American leg of the Eras Tour. Throughout the U.S. leg of the tour in Spring 2023, Swift often traveled back and forth between the city where she held her concert and her residence in New York City.

Nordstrom brothers seek to take their company private.

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to Linkedin

A sign indicates Nordstrom and its founding date. Nordstrom is headquartered in Seattle, ... [+] Washington.

It’s a repeat effort. After a try in 2017, the two Nordstrom brothers are trying again to take their company private and out of the limelight. Erik Nordstrom, CEO and Pete Nordstrom, President and Chief Brand officer, have initiated the formal action by appointing a special committee to “carefully evaluate the Nordstrom offer and any other offers from other parties.”

The company, which went public on NASDAQ NDAQ in 1971 and switched to the NYSE listing in 1999, has undergone many dramatic, even traumatic, changes. It was originally a shoe company that eventually tested the waters selling fashion merchandise. For a long time, the associates gave sparkling service – something that the current management fails to understand. The death of third brother and co-president Blake Nordstrom ended a glorious period for the company. Today, we see the growth of off-price retailing in the Nordstrom Rack stores, which are multiplying like rabbits. There are now 260 Nordstrom Rack stores (including 2 clearance stores) in operation, with an additional 26 units planned so far for the current year. In contrast, there are 93 main Nordstrom stores and 6 local service hubs. The Rack stores have their own management team and are groping for identity. The stores lack the buying power of TJX and Burlington stores. TJX company has 1200 buyers scouring the international market for value merchandise.

The board of directors’ special committee retained Morgan Stanley MS and Centerview Partners as financial advisors and Sidley Austin LLP and Perkins Cole LLP as legal counsel. “There can be no assurance that the company will pursue any particular transaction or other strategic outcome, or that a proposed transaction will be approved or consummated.” management said. “The company does not intend to disclose further developments regarding this matter unless and until further disclosure is determined to be appropriate or necessary.”

The Nordstrom declining health of their father, Bruce Nordstrom, whom I revere, the Nordstrom brothers acquired beneficial ownership of 6,935,360 shares of common stock by accepting the trusteeship of the Frances W W . Nordstrom trust. Including their own holdings, the two brothers now hold an aggregate of 15,538,791 shares of the company’s stock, representing 9.52 percent of the outstanding shares. The whole family owns about 30 percent of the Nordstrom stock.

Street opinion is that the company will be taken private after the committee goes through all formalities and investigations. It is the desire of senior management to privatize the company and to act without shareholders looking over management’s shoulders.

Sh gun episode 10 review a powerful finale but not what i was expecting, trump ally warned ex-president about keeping classified docs—over a year before indictment, fbi filing says.

POSTSCRIPT: Nordstrom’s customer service was exemplary and set a standard for the industry. The Nordstrom stores sparkled, had piano music, and associates that cared. If management (that is Erik and Pete) take the company private, customers still will look for reasons to shop in the stores. The demise of many department stores is a sad part of retailing. I hope that Nordstrom will not meet that fate and continues to thrive.

Spice Girls reunite at Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday party

David Beckham shares video of former girl group singing their hit Stop at private club Oswald’s in London, as Mel B hints at a tour

The Spice Girls have reunited for a rare performance featuring all five members – at Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday party, where they danced to their classic hit Stop.

The party was held on Saturday at Oswald’s, a private members’ club in London, with the likes of Tom Cruise, Salma Hayek, Eva Longoria and Gordon Ramsay also attending.

During the party, Beckham – along with fellow Spice Girls Geri Halliwell-Horner, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm and Emma Bunton – sang along to Stop as well as performing the signature choreography from the single off their 1997 sophomore album Spiceworld.

Beckham’s husband, David Beckham , posted a video to Instagram where he gleefully looked on. “I mean come on,” the 48-year-old former footballer captioned the video.

Victoria responded in the comments, writing: “Best night ever! Happy Birthday to me! I love you all so much!”

Brown also hinted at a potential reunion tour. “About last night #tourdatescomingsoon,” she shared, reposting the video to her Instagram story.

Last month, Brown teased in an interview with Today that the Spice Girls were working on something “very good” together – though she did not confirm rumours of a tour at the time.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Spice Girls, who formed in 1994 and officially split six years later in 2000.

They have reunited multiple times over the years – most recently as part of their 2019 Spice World tour, which Beckham did not attend. The last time all five members performed publicly was in 2012 for the closing ceremony of the London Olympics.

In 2023 the Beckhams’ marriage was explored in a four-part Netflix documentary series, which also addressed his rise to fame as a footballer and the extensive press speculation that he allegedly had an affair while playing for Real Madrid in 2003.

Here's a peek inside downtown Nashville homes for rent. Heads up, don't forget your wallet

• The nonprofit organization has been offering the home tour for 19 years.
• Participants in this year's tour included Prima at Paseo South Gulch, Pullman at Gulch Union and several private homes.

Rooftop views. Resort-style pools. Sprawling vacation rentals.

Several luxurious homes and rental properties were showcased last week at the Nashville Downtown Partnership's 2024 Home Tour. The nonprofit's yearly event brings in visitors from all over Middle Tennessee to take a peek inside downtown Nashville residences.

The home tour is meant to promote downtown living, share design tips and offer participants a chance to see the city from new angles. Rental apartments from the brand new Prima building at Paseo South Gulch were featured on this year's tour. The mixed use development on 8th Avenue was built by SomeraRoad.

A new building called Pullman at Gulch Union showcased model units for luxury condos soon to hit the market. Prices for those condominiums start at $400,000.

According to the Nashville Downtown Partnership, 17,630 people currently live downtown in an average home size of 813 square feet. More than 4,000 units are currently under construction and at least 13,000 are in planning stages.
