Department Store
Department stores sell a wide selection of merchandise with no one line predominating.
These stores generally are arranged into departments with a manager heading each department.
Products
Departments stores may sell apparel, furniture, appliances, home furnishings, cosmetics, jewellery, paint, hardware, electronics, and sporting goods. They may also sell food and services such as optical, photography, pharmacy, insurance, travel brokerage and funerals. They are the ultimate one-stop shop.
Discount Department Stores
Discount department stores typically have fewer sales workers, relying more on self-service features, and have centrally located cashiers. Department stores that sell bulk items, like major appliances, usually provide delivery and installation services. Upscale department stores may offer tailoring for their clothing lines and more personal service.
