High Street Chain to Open 'Important' New Department Across Its 36 UK Shops
The refreshed departments combine sportswear, wearable technology and recovery products as John Lewis invests £800 million across 36 UK stores.
- John Lewis Partnership is relaunching sports and wellbeing departments across its 36 UK stores as part of a wider £800 million investment program.
- Managing Director Peter Ruis called the relaunch an "important step," noting that customers now "shop around a goal" rather than traditional retail categories.
- Spanning up to 5,000 square feet, new departments will feature brands including Nike, Peloton, and Garmin, alongside free gait analysis services for shoppers.
- The transformation is already complete at John Lewis Oxford Street, with future redevelopments scheduled for Liverpool, Cheadle, and Glasgow stores.
- John Lewis believes this positions it as the first UK retailer to unify sportswear, recovery products, and AI-powered fitness services into one destination.
