John Lewis to reopen a further ten stores this month
John Lewis has announced plans to reopen a further ten shops this month including some in Scotland and Wales.
The retailer’s department stores in Basingstoke, Cardiff, Chelmsford, Chester, Edinburgh, Exeter, Glasgow, Stratford and the Trafford Centre will reopen on 13 July. Its store in London’s Oxford Street will open a few days later on 16 July to take the total number of stores that have reopened since the easing of lockdown to 32. There are also plans to reopen further shops 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.”
