Meme-stock investor Ryan Cohen has built a sizable stake in Nordstrom Inc. and aims to replace at least one of the department store chain’s directors, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Cohen is already one of Nordstrom’s five biggest non-insider shareholders, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the information wasn’t public.
