  Department store - Wikipedia
Most department stores that are now internationally famous are no longer single location shops as before, such as Harrods, but operate as chain stores, such as Sogo, Macy's and Harvey Nichols.
In the beginning, some department stores leased space to individual merchants, along the lines of the New change in late 17th-century London, but by 1900 the smaller companies were purchased or replaced by the larger company.
The term "department store" is not generally used for chains such as Marks and Spencer with only a few departments; these are termed "retail multiples".

Implementation of the plan allows Liberty House to move forward and take the fast-changing business of department store retailing head on, unrestrained by bankruptcy court approvals that often got stuck in arguments between management, old owners JMB Realty Corp. and other interested parties to the case.
