I really enjoyed it, an amazing story

Selfridges been going for over a hundred years and still going strong with double digit growth last year. Not too bad for a ‘department store’. Just shows you look after the customers and give them a good experience year after year good retailers can win.

TV One (from memory) ran a series on Selfridge's beginnings a couple of years ago. A great watch.
