British Home Stores (also known as BHS or, more recently Bhs) is a stalwart general retailer of the British High Street, selling clothes and household items (such as bedlinen, cutlery, crockery and lighting). BHS competes mostly on price and value_for_money, aiming at a less affluent demographic than Marks and Spencer or John Lewis.
The first British Home Stores shop opened in Brixton in 1928 and BHS became a public company in 1931. BHS merged with Habitat and Mothercare to form Storehouse plc in 1986, and, soon afterwards, the British Home Stores name and brand was replaced by Bhs, including a new logo.

There are more of these stores planned for the future with some existing stores currently (or soon to be) trialing a re-jigged department layout; with some departments increasing and some decreasing in size.
With this ongoing change, Bhs are either planning more HomeStores or "normal" stores with larger home departments, whilst these departments will/may decrease in size across their other stores.
