Item 2.   Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

     On October 11, 1996, the registrant, Proffitt's, Inc., a
Tennessee corporation ("Proffitt's), completed a merger with
Parisian, Inc, an Alabama corporation ("Parisian") in which a
wholly owned subsidiary of Proffitt's was merged with and into
Parisian, with Parisian surviving the merger as a wholly owned
subsidiary of Proffitt's.  In connection with the merger, each
outstanding common share $0.01 par value of Parisian was converted
into a right to receive $15.00 in cash and .4006 shares of the
common stock, $.10 par value, of Proffitt's (the "Proffitt's Common
Stock"), for an aggregate consideration of approximately $110
million in cash and approximately 2.9 million shares of Proffitt's
Common Stock.

     Parisian is a regional specialty department store company
which operates 38 stores in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Indiana,
Michigan, Ohio, South Carolina, and Tennessee.

     In connection with the merger, Proffitt's issued its Guaranty
of the $125 million in outstanding principal amount of the 9 7/8%
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2003 of Parisian (the "Notes"),
pursuant to a Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 11, 1996
among Proffitt's, Parisian and AmSouth Bank of Alabama, as trustee. 
Proffitt's paid to each holder of a Note consenting to approval of
the Supplemental Indenture, $10.00 per $1,000 of principal amount
of such holder's Notes for an aggregate payment of approximately
$1.2 million.

     Funds for the cash consideration paid to Parisian
shareholders, the consent payments to holders of Notes and certain
expenses and investment advisory fees in the aggregate amount of
approximately $4.3 million incurred in connection with the merger
were provided by borrowing under a $275 million credit facility
pursuant to a Credit Facilities and Reimbursement Agreement dated

                 Parisian, Inc. and Subsidiaries
       Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
      For the period from February 4, 1996 to August 3, 1996


(1)  In Management's opinion, all adjustments are included to
     fairly present quarterly results and all such adjustments are
     of a normal and recurring nature.  The results of the interim
     periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a
     full year's operations.

(2)  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
     Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation was issued during
     1995.  Parisian, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company")
     anticipates that the adoption of this accounting standard
     during the 1996 fiscal year will not be material to its
     financial condition.  Statement of Financial Accounting
     Standards No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
     Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities was issued
     during 1996.  The Company anticipates that the adoption of
     this accounting standard during the fourth quarter of the 1996
     fiscal year will not be material to its financial condition.
