What? No! Isn’t Waitrose propping it up at the moment?

Aren't they just closing some stores?

Yeah, and Del Boy is dead.

Where is that being reported? All I can see is that some of their stores won't reopen, which isn't unexpected.

Del Boy will never die.

It was on the BBC who have now pulled it.

Headline read: John Lewis unlikely to reopen its doors after lockdown.

The Sun also changed their headline.

I heard through the retail grapevine that they were considering opening on a limited basis when they reopen.

wendy james · Post by **wendy james** » Tue Apr 28, 2020 6:45 pm

I’d read they’d said it was highly unlikely that all 50 stores would reopen, so I can see why headline writers got excited!

Ella77 · Post by **Ella77** » Tue Apr 28, 2020 6:45 pm

Yes, that’s still out there.

Lola · Post by **Lola** » Tue Apr 28, 2020 9:14 pm

Yes it said that on the Mirror website :highbrow:

They will close some just like all the big retail businesses and will also finesse the duplications in the Waitrose business vs the John Lewis business - they will survive but much slimmed down. Many others will not survive at all
