  Jenners - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jenners Department Store is one of Britain's oldest department stores, now under the ownership of House of Fraser, having maintained its original position on Princes Street, Edinburgh, since 1838.
Jenners is now facing increased competition, both from out-of-town retailers and from the new Harvey Nichols in nearby St Andrew Square.
On March 16, 2005 it was announced that the Douglas-Miller family who own Jenners were in advanced negotiations to sell the business to the House of Fraser, at an estimated £100–200 million; the name "Jenners" would still be used for the store.
