Calahonda   11 #61 Posted July 14, 2018 Long gone are the powers of the likes of John Lewis, who’s idea of compliance with the illegality of Retail Price Maintenance was to put pressure on suppliers to ignore orders from retailers who tried to undercut JL’s ‘Never Knowingly Undersold’ pledge. There are far too many household name retailers, who refuse to take their heads out of the sand, the times they are a-changing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

crookesey   625 #68 Posted June 28, 2023 John Lewis left the Sheffield ‘High Street’ donkey’s years ago, and couldn’t hack it in the back whacks. It’s former home is likely to be converted into a multi store/cafe store, so much for the actual ‘High Street’, Sheffield City Centre died a commercial death years ago, why key hammering more nails into it’s coffin? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
