As the name hints, Department Store Day is an occasion to recognise the retail powerhouses that have brought wealth to numerous nations from around the world. Obviously, this event has rather modern traditions and while these are a bit unclear, its roots seem to trace back at least until the end of the Second World War. While Department Store Day may not be as recognised as some other celebrations, its existence is nonetheless very real.
The main way to celebrate the occasion (from the point of view of a consumer) will be to visit one’s favourite department store, browse the aisles and pick out a gift or two. After all, contributing a bit of money back into the economy never hurts. If one is an employee, it could be worthwhile to ask for an extended lunch break. Still, if management has never heard of Department Store Day, the chances of enjoying a bit of free time may be slightly reduced!
