Department Store Day is celebrated every year on 16th October. Department stores are the driving force of the world’s economy, and these Department Stores have a combination of multiple varieties of resources and products into one easily approachable store, so we don’t want to go to many small stores. You can buy everything you want in just one place, and that’s the strength of Department Stores, and that is why people love to shop at department stores.
