ECCOnoob Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) I see JLP can dig out money from the back of the sofa when it suits them. I mean, god forbid the Chelsea set has suffer their favourite corner shop looking a bit worn and dated... https://www.standard.co.uk/business/leisure-retail/john-lewis-peter-jones-renovation-b930459.html Its quite an extraordinary message putting out to loyal customers elsewhere. For those within the comfortable bubble of the M25 they have the choice and convenience of 8 different stores all within the Greater London boundaries but seemingly for those in the regions you can just about go and kiss their never knowingly undersold backside. You want to be worthy of using their stores... put the effort in, travel some distance and make a special trip. Be interesting to see how this plays out.

And now it is fabulous, i.e. imaginary. See https://www.thefreedictionary.com/fabulous which says a. Of the nature of a fable or myth; legendary. b. Told of or celebrated in fables or legends. [Middle English, mythical, from Old French fabuleux, from Latin fābulōsus, from fābula, fable; see fable.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francypants Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Think I must belong to a minority group of people because I have never liked John Lewis stores. I won't miss it but do feel for the staff who are losing their jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chekhov Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 I have been trying to come up with date that John Lewis Sheffield actually closed. What date did it last actually serve a customer ? Was that different from its official closure date ? Did it actually ever reopen after the Lockdown ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernboy Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 The last customer served in store was on 4th January 2021 before the country went into lockdown. Staff were informed of the proposed permanent closure on 24th March. After consultation the decision was finalised at the end of June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
