Some stores may not reopen in April when retail lockdown ends as partnership records first-ever loss
John Lewis Partnership has warned it is “not out of the crisis” in the retail sector caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and will not be reopening some stores when lockdown ends, after slumping to a £517m loss for 2020.
The group, which also owns Waitrose, confirmed it would not be paying a bonus to staff for the first time in 67 years.
