A department store is a store which sells many different kinds of goods, each in a separate department. Modern department stores serve the needs of entire families. People enjoy shopping in such stores because they can make all their purchases under one roof.
The typical department store occupies one large building, with separate departments located on a number of floors. A number provide special services, such as a travel agency or optician’s.
Different stores employ hundreds of people for different jobs. Employees buy, price, and sell the goods. The sales promotion manager and his staff promote the sale of merchandise through advertising and other techniques. The comptroller heads the section that keeps records and manages the store’s financial affairs. The personnel staff hires employees and handles other employment problems.

Next is a chain of popular fashion clothes shops for men and women which was successful in the 1980s. In 1981, a small group of clothes shops was taken over by George and Liz Davies, a married couple and named Next. They sold clothes in co-ordinated groups to make choice easy, and became famous for their suits, which were worn by the new businessmen and women. In 1985, Next started selling furniture and opened jewellery shops. It started catalogue shopping in 1988. In contrast to others on the market the catalogue looked like a well-designed magazine and the shops were created by a fashionable interior-design practice, Conran Associates. In December 1988, the Davies were sacked, fashions started to change and people stopped spending large amounts of money on clothes as inflation and interest rates rose. The new management closed many shops. Next provides a cheap education in style and fashion that had not been available to the majority of people before.

Harrods is a tourist attraction in London like Buckingham Palace or the Tower of London. It is also a department store. 40% of Harrods’ business is to foreign customers and there is a total of 50,000 customers a day. It all started as a grocer’s shop in 1849, owned by Harry Charles Harrod. The area where Harrods is, Knightsbridge, became fashionable and wealthy after the 1851 Great Exhibition was held in nearby Hyde Park. Harrods has always sold luxury to the rich. In the first 50 years to 1901 Harrods grew larger, and by 1905 it had become the store we see today, employing 4,000 people. Harrods has about 230 departments, among them 16 Food Halls and 34 for fashion. The store runs a library, has a bank, arranges funerals, has a kennel for customers’ dogs, and its own water supply and electricity generators. Harrods covers 1.8 hectares and seems like a potential independent state in London, a Vatican of commerce.
