Here in Nashville, TN, USA, back when the department stores were all
located in the central business district, they indeed tended to be
multistory. Starting in the 1970s, the downtown department stores either
went out of business or migrated to the suburbs, where land was cheaper,
and one-to-two-story department stores became the norm. In the last decade,
downtown living started becoming stylish again, but none of the large
stores have yet moved downtown.

The difference between a building used as a supermarket compared to a
department store is the internal fitout, the building remains the same.
not at all, this might be the case in some areas (that I am not aware of)
and edge cases, but the typical supermarket is 1 storey, in huge cases 2
(and then one level is typically electronics, or gardening and other
non-food articles and tends towards a department store by the selection of
products) and doesn't have a representative / expensive outside facade,
while department stores tend to have at least 3 floors, typically 4 and
more, and do have to have a representative outside, so no, these are not
the same kind of buildings.
Do you have any real example of a supermarket becoming a department store
or vice versa?
cheers
