“John Lewis & Partners”
News
They have decided to rebrand themselves, highlighting the ‘partners’ element...in the meantime, they’re axing 270 jobs
Hm, always thought that JL was more popular and profitable than Waitrose. Now it's becoming "Waitrose & Partners".
Rockman well, seeing that Waitrose can offer me a free hot drink on a daily basis (with a purchase, of course) versus John lewis’ Free cake and drink once in a blue moon, I certainly see the value in Waitrose (I won’t be completely unfair - have had 3 portions of cake and tea for free with JL this year, though when they started that offer, it was for every month...certainly makes you wonder where they’re hemorrhaging money! Lol)
Probably they also do not make good money....profit is down. Why re-branding would cost more than 200 jobs? Just not to re-brand than! I think something is nasty about this news...
hspexy Re-branding cost a lot, but for that they will not cut jobs. They are very expensive to be honest, some of the clothes have space prices... not affordable and not even worth it.
