Expert Insights on Retail Department Stores

Retail Department Stores are typically large, mall-based retailers who sell many different product lines with no specialty. Product lines include home and housewares, lawn and garden items, clothing, jewelry, consumer electronics, toys, furniture, and cosmetics. Major retail department stores include JCPenny, Macy's, Nordstrom, Dillard's, and Kohl's.
