Australia's David Jones enters administration after 188 years
Original: Australia's 188-year-old retailer David Jones enters administration, faces sale
David Jones, one of Australia's oldest and best-known department store retailers, has entered administration and is facing a potential sale. The move marks a dramatic reversal for a business founded in 1838 that has traded for 188 years. Administrators will now assess the company's finances and seek a buyer, with the outcome closely watched as a signal of pressure on traditional department store retailing.
Why now: The collapse of a historic national retail institution raises concerns about jobs and the health of department store retailing.
