luxury department store located on Brompton Road in Knightsbridge,
London, UK. The Harrods brand also applies to other enterprises
undertaken by the Harrods group of companies including Harrods Bank,
Harrods Estates, Harrods Aviation and Air Harrods. The store occupies a
4.5- acre (18,000 m2) site and has over one million square feet (90,000
m2) of selling space in over 330 departments. The UK's second-biggest
shop, Oxford Street's Selfridges, is a little over half the size with
540,000-square-foot (50,000 m2) of selling space. The Harrods motto is
Omnia Omnibus Ubique-All Things for All People, Everywhere. Several of
its departments, including the seasonal Christmas department and the
Food Hall, are world famous. On 8 May 2010, Mohamed Al-Fayed sold the
store to Qatar Holdings for a sum of £1.5 billion.
