Its totally dependent on where the store physically is located and some kind of rating of how "fashionable" the area where the store is located. I used to do a lot of my school shopping in department stores. The selection in my mid-size city was decent. Not amazing but fine. Fine enough that I could usually find at least a couple things I wanted even if I didn't want to buy everything there. I visited a friend in a very rural part of my state and found absolutely nothing I would buy at my favorite department store back home. Visiting a Macy's in a major city like NYC or Chicago and they are multi-story buildings with basically every major brand. Nike does something similar, their shoes are put into fashion-ability tiers and only retailers that are at that tier or above are allowed to sell that shoe, be it a certain color way, brand (Jordan for instance), or even a style.
