Henrik's was a chain of department stores that had been operating since the 1920s.
By 2005, its owner was Rudi Henrik. (PROSE: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (novelisation)"]) It was part of the JC Howell group, (PROSE: Doctor Who: The Encyclopedia [+]Loading...{"page":"127","ed":"2011 reprint","1":"Doctor Who: The Encyclopedia (reference book)"}) also known as James Howell & Co Ltd. (TV: The Runaway Bride [+]Loading...["The Runaway Bride (TV story)"])
Name[[edit] | [edit source]]
While the chain was generally known as just Henrik's, (TV: Rose [+]Loading...["Rose (TV story)"], The Runaway Bride [+]Loading...["The Runaway Bride (TV story)"], AUDIO: New Girl [+]Loading...["New Girl (audio story)"], etc.) this appeared to be a shortened version of the longer name Henrik's Department Store. (PROSE: Meet Rose [+]Loading...["Meet Rose (short story)"], The Time Traveller's Almanac [+]Loading...{"chaptname":"Everything Changes","page":"63","chaptnum":"3","1":"The Time Traveller's Almanac (reference book)"}, GAME: The Lonely Assassins [+]Loading...["The Lonely Assassins (video game)"])
Although the chain was seemingly established as Henrik & Son by the time the Central London branch opened in 1928, (PROSE: The Time Traveller's Almanac [+]Loading...["The Time Traveller's Almanac (reference book)"]) posters for the chain in 1925 Soho used the name "Henrik's". (TV: The Giggle [+]Loading...{"timestamp":"00:18:53","1":"The Giggle (TV story)"})
On the chain's website by the 2020s, the company was referred to as Henrik's plc. (GAME: The Lonely Assassins [+]Loading...["The Lonely Assassins (video game)"])
