John Lewis the Key

Once again the department store group John Lewis becomes key to a major development. It is in talks with Birmingham City Council for a 27,870 sq.metres (300,000 sq.ft.) store on the 14 acre scheme for the New Street rail station
rebuilding programme. That would be its largest store outside London and speaks volumes for the appeal of Birmingham. The £600 million development
of the station and the Palisades Shopping Centre fits with the John Lewis criteria of a large consumer footfall. The fact is that the retailer has wanted a store in Birmingham for some years. John Lewis’ Andy Street said: “We believe that Birmingham is the regional capital and we want to be represented in the regional capitals.”
