Nordstrom Inc. is forecasting muted revenue and comparable sales growth this year as sluggish demand at its high-end namesake stores offsets an improving outlook at its off-price Rack stores.

The department-store operator said on Tuesday it has plans to open more than two dozen Rack locations within the next year or so, including in San Diego, Omaha and Houston, while also boosting online sales at the Nordstrom banner.
