The Nordstrom founding family has now failed twice to take the company private.

Nordstrom on Tuesday said that the special committee of its board has terminated discussions with members of the Nordstrom family — who include company co-Presidents Blake Nordstrom, Peter Nordstrom, and Erik Nordstrom; President of Stores James Nordstrom; Chairman Emeritus Bruce Nordstrom;, and Anne Gittinger — regarding a take-private move because it could not reach an agreement on price.

In recent weeks, the Nordstrom family, which owns 31 percent of the retailer, was trying to find a new source of financing so that they could raise their $50 a share offer that was rejected earlier this month, a source close to the situation said.

The family, working with private equity firm Leonard Green & Partners, could not raise the debt financing at reasonable rates through traditional leveraged lenders to make an offer of higher than $50 a share, sources said.

Retailer Toys ‘R’ Us liquidating this week may have not helped matters.

Nordstrom’s founding family last October failed in an earlier attempt to take the company private.

The Post reported exclusively Feb. 28 that the family, in a new attempt to take Nordstrom private, was having a difficult time again. At the time, Nordstrom shares were trading at $51.31. In after-hours trading, Nordstrom fell as much as 2.3 percent, to $48.25.
