The History of John Lewis Shopping
Initially established as a successful family enterprise by John
Lewis in 1864 it evolved into the John Lewis partnership in 1929.
The unique contract between John Lewis and its partners (their 60,000
permanent employees) has given the company a distinctive competitive
edge and unsurpassed strong relationship with both John Lewis
shopping suppliers and customers developing strong brand loyalty.
Their success has led to considerable expansions in store development
throughout their 75 years in partnership, more recent shops include
John Lewis Blue Water in Kent and Solihull in the West Midlands.
In 2004 the group annual turnover hit the £5 billion mark
and with continued success these expansions will hopefully continue.
