The new store opened in 1912. Check it out on Google maps!<\/p>\n<p>The huge open area reminds me of the Toronto Reference library at Asquith and Yonge!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.galerieslafayette.com\">Galaries Lafeyette<\/a> is still in operation today as an international chain. The flagship Paris store offers clothing from off the shelf budget wear to high fashion. Same location as in 1912.<\/p>\n<p>Their website shows some of goods n offer, while the Wikipedia site shows international stores in operation, closed, and planned.
