The department store was opened in September 1955 under the name of Wangfujing Department Store (王府井百货商店). It changed to its present name in July 1968.[citation needed] In the 1970s an office building and a warehouse were built and annexed to the main building.
The store offers a wide range of merchandise very similar to an American department store.[1][2]
In August 2019, an underground retro commercial street and immersive museum called Heping Guoju (和平菓局) opened to public on the B2 floor of Beijing Department Store.[3]
