Jenners was founded by Charles Jenner as a department store for the community. The original building was destroyed by a fire in 1892 but, with a new design in mind, the store was reopened in 1895 with new features. It was named Harrods of the North after it was given Royal Warrant in 1911 and was visited by Queen Elizabeth II on its 150th anniversary. It was sold to the House of Fraser in 2005, which in 2008, made much needed improvements to the store.
Scottish (Lowlands): habitational name from Hislop, on Hazelhope Burn (Roxburghshire), named with Old English hæsel, hesel ‘hazel tree’ + Old English hop ‘remote valley’.
