What would happen if Bergdorf Goodman was bought out by Wal-Mart (huge overexaggeration, yes) and became Wal-Goodman? Even if nothing changed except the name, many people would be upset at what they saw as the end of an era. Of course, more will change about these stores than just the name.
I'm not a big fan of large department stores at all--but they fill a need all the same.

I would agree. Basically, I see large stores as feeders to my favorite stores -- Nordstrom Rack, Neiman Marcus Last Call and Off Fifth Saks Fifth Avenue. I have to pick up my gear on sale.
