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 11-years-old, 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, Off-White, and more.
