About David Jones Limited:
David Jones Limited (ASX:DJS), the oldest department store in Australia and one of the oldest in the world, is by any standards remarkable. The iconic department store began in 1838 when maverick retailer David Jones threw open the doors of his first shop in Sydney. When Charles Lloyd Jones took over in 1920, he launched the iconic Elizabeth Street store taking inspiration from the department stores in London and New York.
