LONDON (Reuters) – British retailer John Lewis Partnership said on Tuesday it will re-open its department stores on a “phased basis” after the government said “non-essential” retail could re-open from June 15.
John Lewis, which trades from 50 stores across the UK, did not say how many of its stores would re-open on June 15.
“Our plan sees us open our shops on a phased basis, to enable us to test the changes we are introducing and ensure the best and safest customer and partner (employee) experience,” it said.
