Video report: Take a look inside the new John Lewis at Home store before it opens





Store manager, Dominic Joyce, took us on a tour on Tuesday as the store’s new partners (staff) were busy putting the finishing touches to the store.
Parkway centre manager, Neil Carter, said: “We are thrilled to now welcome John Lewis at Home to Parkway.
"We've all been really looking forward to this day - watching it all take shape since we handed over the keys in February."
He said that when the centre opened last year they had 17 units open for trade and since then two more, Whitewall Galleries and Cafe Rouge, have also opened up.
The next ones to open up will be Joules clothing, in late spring, and the Breeze radio station, later in the year.
Mr Carter also said that they had another seven stores currently under offer and that they were in discussion with several others.
He hoped that by Christmas they would have about 30 of the 40 units filled.
He added: "I feel pretty positive about it.
“The aim was to open one a month and we are pretty much on target.
"If we do get to 30 (units), that's a big step for us."
The store is officially opened at 9am tomorrow.
