RIS' Unique Analysis Reveals Value-Based Department Y COVER STOR DEPARTMENTDEPARTMENT STORESSTORES BY TIMOTHY DENMAN RIS’ unIQUE ANALYSIS REVEALS VALUE-BASED DEPARTMENT STORES NOW DOMINate THE SEGMENT WITH TWO BIG EXCEPTIONS RIS News unveils the results of its Top 10 Department Stores ranking, a deeply researched list compiled through the examination of seven hard-data metrics that span customer loyalty, so- cial initiatives, employee satisfaction, CEO rating, and financial performance. As the number of publically-owned department store chains has shrunk over the years, those left standing have had to redefine the category to keep pace with the evolving retail landscape. Half of the department stores in the Top 10 are committed to offering name brand merchandise at dis- counted prices. The performance of the value-conscious retailers is not surprising, but it is certainly interesting. During the economic downturn shoppers flocked to the off-pricers in search of bargain pricing and stayed loyal to the brands even as the economic landscape improved — creating a sea change in the segment. The Top 10 Department Stores ranking is the second in a series of Top 10 retailer lists RIS News will publish throughout 2014 — next up is apparel retailers in the summer and e-tailers in the fall. Congratulations to all of the members of the Top 10 Department Stores ranking.
