Debenhams
Online Store |
Debenhams is Britain's favourite department store. With
97 stores across the UK and Republic of Ireland, a home
shopping catalogue and a ground-breaking website. Debenhams
online are committed to offering customers greater value,
a wider choice and excellent service across every area
in which they trade.
Though the company dates back to 1778, the Debenhams name
first appeared in 1813 as the partnership of Clark and
Debenham in London's Wigmore Street. Prospering throughout
the 19th century, the business grew to include a number
of retail outlets all over the country as well as clothing
manufacturing operations. In 1905, the business was incorporated
and their first department store was opened.
In 1928, they were listed on the London Stock Exchange
where it traded as an independent company and continued
to expand. In 1985 it was acquired by the Burton Group
and had a portfolio of 65 department stores in key locations
across the United Kingdom.
In the late 1980s and early the management began to reposition
the business, introducing exclusive ranges of own-brand
merchandise across key product areas. In January 1998,
the stores demerged from the Burton Group and became,
once again, an independently listed company on the London
Stock Exchange.
They
have continued to develop their unique mix of exclusive
own brands including 'Designer ranges', international
brands and concessions. According to recent independent
research carried out by Verdict, they have increased
their share of the UK department store market to over
13 per cent.
They currently operate 96 stores in the UK and Republic
of Ireland and their store-opening programme plans for
103 sites by 2004. Making their merchandise even more
accessible, they also continue to develop and enhance
the offers available through their website and home
shopping channel.
