The first phase of John Lewis' flagship Glasgow store’s £20 million pound refurbishment is now underway! Work has begun on the lower ground floor to bring you an exciting new technology and sports destination – expected to be completed as early as September 2026! Transformations to menswear and home departments will follow later in the year, along with a new gift emporium, expanded fashion offering, beauty hall and fragrance hall all scheduled to open in 2027 too.
This major Glasgow glow-up will elevate the much-loved John Lewis store into an exciting new retail destination with enhanced shopping experiences, new brands and expert services. Here's everything you need to know, with all the latest updates as they happen to follow...
WHAT TO EXPECT
As part of the transformation, customers can look forward to a new World of Tech and an expanded sports department as the first new upgrades coming to the store. An all-new Sports & Wellness concept will help place John Lewis Glasgow as a key player in the wellness industry, with big brand names such as Nike, Brooks and Patagaonia available alongside wearable tech from Garmin, Oura and Whoop, recovery products from Therabody, and premium home fitness equipment from Peloton, NordicTrack and Speediance.
But that’s not all! Later this year, you can expect to see an enhanced men's fashion collection, as well new home and furniture sections, while upgrade womenswear collections, new beauty and fragrance experiences, upgraded childrenswear and nursery departments, plus an improved hospitality offering will all follow in the early months of 2027.
