| | Department store - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A department store is a retail establishment which specializes in selling a wide range of products without a single predominant merchandise line. | | | In the United States, retail brands and companies such as Dillard's, Federated Department Stores, Sears, J.C. Penney, and Nordstrom are considered department stores, while retail brands such as K-Mart and Wal-Mart are discount department stores. | | | A discount store is a type of department store, which sell products at prices lower than those asked by traditional retail outlets. |

| | The New Yorker: Fact |
| | The trouble with the classic business-school account of the decline of the department store is that some version of it has always been true—or has been for at least fifty years, which in retailing is the same as always. | | | That was the excitement of the department store.” Little by little, he explains, the things that were not profitable have been shed, and these are precisely the things that conspired to create trust and confidence and an attachment. | | | Stock price dictates value, and quarterly profits determine stock price, so, where the department store’s construction of trust and emotional connection depends on having areas of the store that are profit centers, and areas that lead you to the profit centers, the short-termer dreams only of profit centers. |

| | Monthly Department Store Sales Report |
| | April department store sales in many markets benefited from continued strong U.S. economic fundamentals and to some extent from the calendar shift that pushed Easter into mid-April, two weeks later than last year. | | | No results are reported for markets where there are fewer than three participating retailers, or where one of the participating retailers accounted for more than 45% of all the participants' sales in that market in 1997. | | | These twenty-five markets are the largest markets for which there are at least 3 participating retailers, and for which no participant accounted for more than 45% of sales in 1997. |

| | Department store wrestle 3 demons - May. 13, 2003 |
| | "Department stores are struggling hard to attract consumers and to regain market share that they've lost to specialty stores and to discount chains like Wal-Mart," said Kurt Barnard, retail economist and president of Barnard's Consulting Group. | | | "Department stores are finding it increasingly hard to explain their relevance to consumers and their prices are just not competitive. | | | "Department store sales are lackluster upon lackluster, and they've been that way for two years," said Jeffrey Klinefelter, retail analyst with U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray. |

| | Boston.com / Business / The endangered department store |
| | Ken Nisch, chairman of JGA Inc., the Detroit retail consultancy that helped put together the Levenger deal, believes more department stores will soon be getting back to their roots by bringing in outside retailers to operate in-store boutiques, as a means to keep their stores fresh. | | | As a result, overall department store sales dropped to 6.6 percent of all nonautomotive retail sales in 2004, down from 11.1 percent in 1994, according to data compiled by Retail Forward. | | | Although analysts believe a merged entity would force many closures to prevent further cannibalization of sales, such a deal would boost their buying power. |

| | USATODAY.com - Changes in store for department stores? |
| | Annual department store sales have declined for the past four years — to a low of $213.9 billion in 2004 from a high of $233.6 billion in 2000, the U.S. Census Bureau reports — even as retail sales overall grew each year. | | | Same-store sales at department stores — a key retail measure that counts only sales at stores that were operating at least a year ago and are still open — eked out a 1.6% gain in 2004, but that followed three years of same-store sales declines, Redbook Research reports | | | Now, Federated might be interested in May. Together, the two companies would be a $30 billion business with 960 department stores and 221,000 employees. |
