According to one account, Rose Tyler began working working at Henrik's Department Store after her mother, Jackie Tyler, called in a favour from an old boyfriend, Geoff Moon, at least six months after Rose broke up with Jimmy Stone. Rose worked her way up from the stock floor to the shop floor, and, while the job admittedly bored her, she felt it necessary "to pay her mother rent and earn her way in the world."

Sometime before March 2005 it was infiltrated by Autons who hid in its basement, disguised as storefront dummies, controlled by the Nestene Consciousness via a relay device in the roof.
