John Lewis announces £1.3 million investment in Sheffield store

John Lewis today announced a £1.3 million investment in its Sheffield department store, which will see the refurbishment of the ground floor, including a new-look beauty hall.

Work on the project is due to start in August this year and the project will be completed in October. John Lewis Sheffield will remain open throughout the works and activity will be carefully managed to minimise any impact on customers.

James Prince, head of branch, John Lewis Sheffield said: “Our primary focus is always our customers’ shopping experience and this investment will help to ensure Sheffield shoppers continue to receive the best that John Lewis has to offer.

“Our long term focus remains to work with the Council on the viability and vitality of the city centre.”

Nalin Seneviratne, Sheffield City Council’s director of capital and major projects added: “We welcome the refurbishment announced by John Lewis.

“It certainly demonstrates their commitment to Sheffield’s shoppers whilst we discuss the details for the new retail quarter in the city centre.”
