Harrods.
Harrods is a department store in London, England. It is the biggest department store in Britain. It started in 1834 when Charles Harrod opened a small shop selling fruit, vegetables and tea. In a short time, people from all over London started coming to the shop. In 1883, Charles’s son bought a larger building for the shop and began selling more products. Harrods grew bigger and bigger, and in 1985 the store was sold for £615 million to an Egyptian businessman. Then, in May 2010, Qatar Holding bought it for £1.5 billion.
Today, Harrods has got 330 departments that sell many products including clothes, sports equipment, jewellery, food and drink. There are also 28 restaurants and a bank in the Harrods building.
