If you're on the hunt for jobs in retail then here's some news to put a smile on your face – John Lewis is set to open ten mini stories – creating 3,000 new jobs.
The scaled-down stores will be established in towns that don't have space for the full-sized department store – so it could be coming to a town near you.
On the list of towns likely to see a new store is Exeter, Guildford and York.
The jobs will be created over the next five years, so there's plenty of time to get your CV polished and get as much experience as you can, to make sure you have the best chance of landing a role.
Andy Street, managing director of John Lewis, said: "There is a huge potential, and a clear demand from customers, for John Lewis to expand into more key locations in the UK.
"This new flexible approach to the size of our shops allows us to forge ahead with our growth plans to introduce John Lewis branches and our full-line assortment to cities and towns where we have long wanted to have a presence."
Earlier this week the Recruitment and Employment Confederation's (REC's) specialist sector for sales and retail said that the role of a retail professional has changed, and employers want an increasingly skilled and professional workforce.
