The problem with big retail now is it is cheaper for John Lewis to build something new from scratch than take on an pre-existing building.

Horsham, Chichester, Haywards Heath all prove this

What happened in those locations?

Boots staying put too - good, i like that store and it's handy to pick up bits when i'm in town or going on holiday.

What do you mean?

If the Churchill Square expansion goes ahead, they're looking to move into there.

I remember the good times said:

Don't think you quite got it, John Lewis NOT coming.
Where were Boots going if JL were going there and what has happened to BHS, is it empty and if so how about JL going there?

I thought Zara was moving to the old BHS store
