John Lewis has today announced plans to reopen a further ten shops, including shops in Scotland and Wales.
On Monday 13 July, John Lewis shops in Basingstoke, Cardiff, Chelmsford, Chester, Edinburgh, Exeter, Glasgow, Stratford and the Trafford Centre will reopen. Given the size and scale of the shop, Oxford Street will also open later in the week on Thursday 16th July to allow the shop additional time to finalise reopening. This will take the total number of shops that have so far reopened following the easing of the lockdown to 32, with plans for further shops to reopen later in the summer.
Bérangère Michel, Executive Director for Customer Service at the John Lewis Partnership said; “I am really pleased to announce more shop openings in the next couple of weeks, and in particular our first to reopen in Wales and Scotland.
“We continue to stick to our safe, not fast approach. We are learning as we go and tweaking our approach to give our customers and Partners the best possible experience. Feedback from customers is that they really enjoy being able to test and try out products such as tablets, mattresses and shoes, all in a safe environment, as well as asking our expert Partners for advice.”
