Which of the following chains of department stores have closed stores over the past few years while others have expanded on their own and/or through acquisitions?:
A) Belk
B) Kohl's
C) Macy's
D) Dillard's
If you answered D, you are correct, but it's not really surprisng. The other 3 chains have adapted well to the recession; Dillard's hasn't This store opened when Northlake Mall opened in the fall of 2005. It's typical of most other Dillard's, and that includes being in the cheapest anchor spot . That means they don't offer a whole lot of sales or publish coupons. And that means almost all of the time, if another department in the mall offers the same product, you will get it for a whole lot cheaper (I'm talking 50% most of the time).
They also often don't carry a whole of lot of stock, or are are out of it. I've also noticed that they don't always treat their employees well. There are several reason this company doesn't do well, and unless they change soon, they will be bought or go out of business. I gave them an extra star simply because they sometimes have pants in my size and that's pretty rare.
