John Lewis has added a further 10 stores, across England, Scotland and Wales, to its list of post-lockdown re-openings, including its London Oxford Street flagship.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On Monday 13 July, John Lewis shops in Basingstoke, Cardiff, Chelmsford, Chester, Edinburgh, Exeter, Glasgow, Stratford and the Trafford Centre<\/strong> will reopen. Oxford Street will reopen on 16 July to allow the shop additional time to finalise reopening.<\/p>\n

These openings would take the total number of stores reopened to 32 out of a store estate of 50<\/strong> with further openings planned later in the summer. However it has been confirmed by John Lewis chairman Dame Sharon White that not all of the remaining 18 stores will re-open.<\/a><\/p>\n

B\u00e9rang\u00e8re Michel, Executive Director for Customer Service at the John Lewis Partnership said; \u201cI 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.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe continue to stick to our safe, not fast approach.<\/strong> We are learning as we go and tweaking our approach to give our customers and Partners the best possible experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cFeedback 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.\"<\/p>\n
