John Lewis to shut Knight & Lee store in Southsea
The retailer said the 35,000 sq ft Knight & Lee outlet in Southsea in Hampshire was its smallest full-range department store and could not easily be modernised. John Lewis has previously acknowledged the "Challenges" facing the High Street in the current retail climate. The store, which will close in July, is one of only two John Lewis shops in the UK to retain its original name. The Knight & Lee store opened in Southsea in 1865 and was acquired by the John Lewis Partnership in 1933. The retailer said every effort would be made to find the 127 staff roles in nearby John Lewis and Waitrose stores.
