The closing of Lewis`s

I cant believe that Lewis`s is going to close. After all these years of being in Liverpool, the staff were told yesterday to stay behind to put Closing Down notices on all the windows. Its a real shame as Lewis`s is a real pleasure too amble around on a Saturday afternoon. And some of the staff have been there for years - it`ll be a wrench for them to leave after all this time.


Lewis’s doomed

LIVERPOOL’S famous Lewis’s shop appeared doomed today as store closing signs went up. Every window in the 151-year-old store was covered in closing down posters – less than a week after administrators pleaded with shoppers “use us or lose us”. Yet today administrator Kroll insisted it was still trying to sell the business as a going concern. Staff were ordered to stay late last night to put up the huge posters.
