> A departmental store is a large, single-roof retail outlet organised into many specialised departments, run under centralised management/purchasing and offering a very wide range of goods along with extra customer facilities. A Chamber of Commerce is a voluntary association of business people that works to promote, protect and represent the collective interests of trade and industry before the government and the public.

> 1. **One roof, many departments** — a very large retail store housed in a single building, divided into a number of departments, each dealing in one specific line of goods (e.g. clothing, groceries, electronics, furniture) and managed almost like an independent shop.
> 2. **Wide variety of goods** — stocks an enormous range of products to satisfy practically all the shopping needs of customers at one place.
> 3. **Centralised control/purchasing** — although departments function somewhat independently, overall policy, purchasing, finance and advertising are centrally controlled by the store's top management, giving bulk-buying advantages.
> 4. **Located in central/city areas** — usually situated in the heart of a city to attract customers from the entire city and nearby areas.
> 5. **Additional customer facilities** — offers extra services such as restaurants, rest rooms, home delivery, credit facilities and after-sales service to enhance the shopping experience.
> 6. **Large capital and staff** — requires huge capital investment and a large number of employees to run its many departments.
