Based at 199 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, the store expanded from a drapery business into a full blown department store, taking over properties up to number 217. In 1934 the business was purchased by the Scottish Drapery Corporation who renamed the store Daly & Sons. The business stayed as an independent company run by the Daly family under the corporation's wing until 1952 when the Scottish Drapery Corporation Ltd and its subsidiaries were acquired by House of Fraser Ltd.. The company Daly & Sons was liquidated, however the store continued to operate under the Daly's brand until 1979 when the store was closed and redeveloped as retail space.
