John Lewis & Partners is located in Victoria Gate, it is my favourite department store in Leeds city centre, the store is a good size, it is fairly modern so the store looks good.
The store is over five floors, the selection is pretty good overall, they did have a nice selection of men's bags and televisions in particular. The technology section was just OK, other John Lewis stores do it better, I wish they had a nicer selection of more high-end laptops in terms of specifications, a mix of laptops to suit all budgets and needs would be one of the first ways I'd improve the selection in-store.
They had toilets over multiple floors, which is pretty convenient, the one downside to this is the cleanliness of the toilets, which were obviously dirty, perhaps they hadn't got round to cleaning the toilets on one floor yet?
One of the things I hate most about John Lewis, which applies to most of their stores in the absence of a food hall, given the fact they also own a large supermarket chain (Waitrose), I don't see why a small selection of groceries or even food brands, which one would find in rival department stores such as Harvey Nichols and/or Selfridges isn't included here. Some other branches include a Joe and the Juice bar (or similar), which is absent here but would be a great improvement for the future.
4* - Very good John Lewis store, but many other John Lewis stores do it better.
