Page 18 Building and operating sustainable shops
Our ambitious plans for growth provide a significant opportunity to minimise the environmental impact of our built assets and offer long-term value to the local community. This involves ensuring all our shops suit their surroundings, are built responsibly and operate sustainably. We also believe in keeping town centres vibrant by maintaining the shops we have in these locations, and choosing city centre sites where we can.

Our expansion strategy
As part of the Partnership's ambitious plans to double turnover over the next 10 years, creating a business with over 100,000 Partners, John Lewis aims to open a number of new shops almost exclusively in city centre locations.
To meet these objectives, we have already embarked on an extensive and ambitious programme of building, acquisition, expansion and refurbishment. In the north of England alone, we have relocated our Liverpool shop to the heart of the new Liverpool One development and in Sheffield, we are relocating the Cole Brothers store to the New Retail Quarter, a £500 million retail and leisure development.
Cambridge also returned home after three years on a temporary site, opening in November as the first of our 'new generation' of department stores. In Leeds, our new store will anchor the East gate Quarter redevelopment and create 1,000 new jobs, and we are planning to open further stores in Preston, Cardiff, Portsmouth, Sprucefield, Oxford, Stratford and Crawley before 2014.
