While shopping malls and online retail have been expanding, some old retailers have a reputation which make them a destination in their own right. This article includes department stores and shopping arcades with a legacy beyond the usual.
These might have a department for food and drinks. See legacy food markets for bazaars, market halls, fishmarkets and other retailers with food as their primary product range.
UnderstandDepartment stores became common with the Industrial Revolution and steam power. Many of them are located in a 19th-century neighborhood with a rail station and a grand old hotel.
