Harrods Holdings
 PROFILE
Posh department store Harrods' motto, "Omnia Omnibus Ubique," loosely translates into "You want it, we got it." It is one of London's biggest tourist attractions, with seven floors and some 300 departments, including the famous Food Hall, about 20 restaurants, a beauty salon, and a bank. On an average day, 35,000 shoppers browse the store located in tony Knightsbridge. (About 40% are tourists.) The crowd swells to 350,000 during sales. Harrods has leveraged its name worldwide, opening signature shops in Asia and Europe and selling Harrods' merchandise online. Founded as a grocery in 1849, Harrods Holdings is owned by chairman Mohamed Al-Fayed, father of Dodi, the ill-fated companion of the late Princess Diana.
