Harrods was elected the best department store in the world

If London is alredy on your travel wishlist, we’ll give you one more reason to visit the city! On Brompton Road, next to the prestigious Victoria & Albert Museum, is Harrods. For the last 170 years, the department store has shown that tradition and continuous innovation are the soul of a great business, because the establishment just was voted the best department store in the world!

The store, which has space for clothing and accessories for women, men and children, also has food and wine, gifts and beauty. It is undoubtedly the store to visit with time and enjoy the many incredible brands that are in their display, such as Chanel, Gucci, Chloe, Cartier and Burberry.

According to a Sybarite’s architects survey and by GlobalData analysts, the store had the highest sales performance per square meter. This resulted in a sale of 2.1 billion pounds the previous year, a surprising increase of 6.8% over the previous 12 months.

London still has two more other stores among the 5 best in the world: Liberty and Selfridges. The increase in its sales is related to the boom of high-spending tourists visiting the city, who is enjoying de downsizing of the value of the pound.

“Top-ranked retailers are benefiting from the proactiveness of investing in their stores, helping to deliver differentiation and unique buying experiences,” says Global Data’s advisory director, Joseph Robinson, who further demonstrated the importance of this investment, especially at this time in which brands have invested in autonomous stores.
