carriage-trade store

This sentence in the opening paragraph is meaningless to the average reader (and missing a comma): "Historically Burdines was known as the carriage-trade store in Florida". I'm tempted to remove it but I don't know if its trying to convey something useful. Is it trying to say that the chain was previously named "The Carriage-Trade Store" or is it trying to indicate that the chain was a "carriage trade store" (I could find few references to "carriage trade stores" in Google).

Burdines catered to a wealthier clientele than Sears or J.C. Penney. The phrase "carriage trade" is fairly commonly used to describe a store catering to the well-off. Horologium t-c 01:48, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
