De Bijenkorf (Dutch pronunciation: [də ˈbɛi.ə(ŋ)kɔr(ə)f]; literally, "the beehive"[1]) is a chain of high-end department stores in the Netherlands, with its flagship store on Dam Square in Amsterdam. The chain is owned by Selfridges Group, owner also of Britain's Selfridges and Ireland's Brown Thomas and Arnotts.

It has been a member of the International Association of Department Stores from 1929 to 2012,[2] with various CEOs acting as presidents of the Association over time.[3][4]
