The department store was opened in September 1955 under the name of Wangfujing Department Store(王府井百货商店). It changed to its present name in July 1968. In the 1970s an office building and a warehouse were built and annexed to the main building.

The store offers a wide range of merchandise very similar to an American department store.[1][2]
