LONDON, March 11 (Reuters) - Britain's John Lewis
Partnership will not re-open a "small number" of
department stores when the COVID-19 lockdown ends in areas where
it considers there are not enough customers, its department
stores head said on Thursday.
"The stores that we find we will probably need to exit are
places where our customers aren't," John Lewis executive
director Pippa Wicks told reporters.
"It's not about whether it's a high street or a shopping
centre or an out-of-town retail park, it's about where our
customers are living and working. That's what's driving our
decision making," she said.
