Over the next few months, Nordstrom will launch Space—its in-store concept boutique dedicated to advanced fashion—in four new locations. Space has attracted a new customer to Nordstrom, while the company’s existing customer has enthusiastically embraced Space’s brands, which include Vetements, Comme des Garçons and Simone Rocha. UK supermarket chain Tesco has trialed 24-hour opening at seven additional London stores on Fridays and Saturdays in order to capitalize on the new Night Tube service, the round-the-clock London Underground service that launched last weekend. On the Night Tube’s opening weekend, Tesco also operated “hydration stations,” where employees handed out Tesco Finest Orange Juice and bottled water from 3 a.m. to 7 a.m. El Puerto de Liverpool, Mexico’s biggest department-store operator, made its second major purchase this summer and won over investors. The company agreed to acquire a minority stake in Chile’s Ripley for at least US$300 million.

FROMTHEDESKOFDEBORAHWEINSWIG

ATransatlanticLookatDepartmentStores

As acres of press coverage attest to, the department-store format is among the most challenged inAmerican retail. In this week’s letter, we look beyond the US to identify similarities and differencesbetweendepartmentstores intheUSandEurope,andtoseewhat learningsthesecomparisonsmightpresent.

InEurope,asintheUS,retailersattheverymiddleofthemarketarethosefacingthemostchallenges:departmentstoresthattargetaverybroaddemographicorthatofferlittlein-storedifferentiationtendtobe losing share tomore fashionable specialistsand toprice-competitive Internet-only retailers.Themostobviouscasualtyof thishasbeenBHS in theUK,which isclosing the lastof its158storesaswewrite. Premium-positioned retailers look tobe faringbetter,with consumers continuing to appreciatethequalityoftheshoppingexperiencetheyprovide.

Overall,wethink thedepartment-storesectors in themajorEuropeancountriesaremorerobust thantheUSsectoris,forthefollowingreasons:

Premium Elements Even in the Midmarket: In the UK, the core traditional department-store sectorretains a more premium positioning than it does in the US. Middle-ground UK retailers such asDebenhams incorporatepremiumelements in their stores—for instance,well-maintainedbeautyhallsthat feature a heavy presenceof prestige brands. By contrast, standards atUS stores are oftenmoreunderwhelmingormorefunctional,leavingtheseretailersatgreaterriskoflosingsharetoprice-ledpureplaysandmorefashionablespecialists.

APrestigeSectorinFrance:TheFrenchdepartment-storesectorisfirmlypositionedupscale,andisalsostrongly focused on Paris. This reflects, in part, the importance of tourists to French retailers such asGaleriesLafayetteandPrintemps.The latestnumbersfromtheseprivatelyownedchains,coveringthefirstpartof2015,showedsolidtop-linegrowth.

Less Cannibalization ThroughOff-Price:Europeandepartment-store retailershavenotyetestablishedoff-price chains,whilemany of their peers in theUS already have. As a result, European departmentstoresarenotcannibalizinganysalesfromtheirownfull-pricestores.Thatsaid,Hudson’sBayCompany,the new owner of Galeria Kaufhof, and Galeries Lafayette have both recently announced their initialmovesintooff-priceformats.

LessPromotionalthantheUS:TheEuropeansectorfocuseslessonpricepromotionsthantheUSsectordoes and there is much less of a couponing culture in Europe. In the UK, Debenhams andM&S arecuttingbackonthenumberofpromotionstheyrun,tooffermoreconsistentpricingtoshoppers.

So, what do we take from this? First, despite some commentators’ negative sentiment, departmentstoreshaveafuture,withnewideassuchasoff-pricepromisingtoinjectrenewedmomentumintothemidmarketsegment.Second,the in-storeexperienceappearstobeevermore important,asshownbypremium retailers outperforming their middle-ground peers. Third, and finally, we think our data onnumberof storesper capitadrawattention to the fact that theUSmarket still has a very substantialnumber of department stores: some big American names are closing tranches of stores and, in thecontextofourdata,theselooklikesensiblemoves.
