One Stop Shopping - Department Stores A department store has separate, different sections or “departments” each carrying specific products such as women’s clothing, home appliances, and hardware, among many other sections. The first department store can be traced back to 1838 when Aristide Boucicaut built the Bon Marche store in Paris. This paved the way for the evolution of simple stores into becoming department stores where an assortment of goods were sold under one roof however at a fixed price. After 10 years, Alexander Turney Stewart built the Marble Palace in New York City which sold European merchandise to women. Other merchants followed suit and came up with different ways to attract customers. This was when discount department stores came to be. With 6% less for cash policies (Macy’s) and five cent counters (Woolworth), most of these department stores offered discounts on in-demand items. They later branched out to retail chains of department stores.
