Getty Nordstrom said it rejected a takeover offer from members of the Nordstrom family. They called the price "inadequate." The family members — who are decedents of founder John W. Nordstrom — own about a 30% stake in the company. NEW YORK (AP) — Department store operator Nordstrom said Monday it had rejected a takeover offer from members of the Nordstrom family, calling the price "inadequate."
