New at home stores in Newbury and Chichester will create 300 jobs
In Spring 2012, we'll be opening two more of our at home stores in Newbury and Chichester, creating around 300 jobs.
The new at home format is proving very popular. (We've already launched six new stores.) They stock everything for the home, from furnishings and kitchen goods to linens and haberdashery. The two new stores will also feature cafés – and terminals where customers can browse the full John Lewis range, ordering on the spot.
The new stores will allow us to take the unique John Lewis brand, with its exceptional service and premium quality goods to even more customers. It will also mean even more people can join us as Partners in our business, sharing in the hard work – and in our success. In these smaller stores, you'll gain plenty of experience from day one, working with a wide range of products, rather than just in one department.
Both stores will need a range of new people on the shop floor and as managers. So if you thrive in a busy, selling environment, you delight in giving a really superior service and you have the ambition and drive to be a co-owner of a business, these new stores could be the perfect place to develop your career.
