People queued around the corner to be the first to shop at the new John Lewis at Home store in Swindon.

 

Opening day: the new John Lewis at home store in Swindon

 

Manager Dominic Joyce and school children from Drove and Mountford Primary School were there to greet everyone and cut the ribbon to officially open the store at 10am.

 

"We're overwhelmed by the response today," commented Mr Joyce.

 

"We have had so many customers turn up and say 'wow!', which is exactly the feedback we were hoping for."

 

The new 'at home' experience will focus on furniture, furnishing accessories, electrical and home technology.

Costing just over £7 million and covering over 39,100 square foot on two floors, the store is the biggest investment by John Lewis in Swindon and is located on the Mannington roundabout.
