BHS

BHS also called ’British Home Stores’ is a renowned departmental store dealing with household items and clothing. Located at the prime commercial areas of the UK, these stores sell high-quality products and cater to the little less affluent consumer segment compared to Marks and Spencer or John Lewis. Providing true value for money, the store has a network of about 182 stores in the United Kingdom. The first BHS shop was opened in 1928 in Brixton, London adopting the US-based FW Woolworth’s model in which the prices of products sold did not exceed one shilling.

Post Second World War, the company changed its strategy, discontinuing selling products on the basis of price and started concentrating in offering high quality products that offer value for money. By the 1960, the company launched its own brand by the name Prova while expanding their chain of stores. Today, the company has a broad line of products including kitchenware, dining-ware, bathroom-ware, lighting, etc. Some of their popular collection includes cutlery, crockery, lighting and bedlinen. The crockery from BHS is reputed for their high quality and stylish designs. The best selling crockery includes BHS Bristol blue large jug, Brecon blue dinner plates, BHS Seville large round shallow jug, etc. These can be bought from popular online auction sites at discounted prices.
