Default John Lewis to Close 8 big stores, that will not open after Lockdown

42 shops


Around 8 or 10 stores may Close



One worried Store Big One is in Liverpool
they do not know their future.

The St. Pancras station one I can understand closing.


[John Lewis is considering more store
closures as it tries to cut costs and
adapt to the boom in online shopping.
In what would be another blow for the
High Street, the BBC understands up
to eight department stores may
remain permanently closed.
That would be on top of the eight stores
it shut last year, which included
two small travel hub shops
at Heathrow and St Pancras.]

[CEO Dame Sharon White
has warned more John Lewis stores
are to remain shut]

The highstreet is DOA I'm afraid. It was coming anyway but Covid has been a huge catalyst. Cities in general are going to be less busy, vast majority of people I've spoken to who work a 9-5 office pattern say their companies are likely adopting a "hybrid model" going forward (they will have offices that you can go to whenever you want, but remote working from home or from wherever you want will be much more common than it was before.
