John Lewis places a whole bunch of ex show kitchens on outlet web site Rehome
John Lewis is offloading a raft of its ex-display kitchens at bargain prices, with many at more than 50 per cent off.
The UK high street department store giant listed the store-displayed kitchens on ex-display and second hand kitchen outlet site Rehome two weeks ago – with many still being added this week.
The brand is, say Rehome, ‘refreshing’ their kitchen departments…by selling off discontinued stock from their department stores across the UK.
Rehome posted photos of the John Lewis store in Kingston, alongside a message urging those interested to check out the best deals on their website.
Second hand and ex-display outlet site Rehome announced it would be selling 220 John Lewis kitchens two weeks ago and is now listing them on their website
Among the offers being listed was this country-inspired Carradale ex display Shaker kitchen that once retailed at £31,531 and is now selling for £15,799
The outlet brand wrote: ‘There is a short window of opportunity to view due to planned removal dates, so you will need to act quickly.’
What’s on offer? Almost everything and anything, from gleaming minimalist to traditional shaker style.
An Astbury Shaker kitchen from John Lewis in High Wycombe has been reduced from £11,157 to £5,499.
Elsewhere, there’s a luxe-looking country-inspired Carradale ex display Shaker kitchen that once retailed at £31,531 is now selling for £15,799.
Another kitchen in the Carradale range, this time in slate grey from the John Lewis Welwyn store has been cut in price to £6,269, down from £12,539.
Elsewhere, there was a midnight blue Astbury Shaker kitchen from John Lewis in High Wycombe that has been reduced from £11,157 to £5,499.
Rehome sells whole kitchens and associated products, including re-conditioned hot taps, designer sinks and practical items such as extractor fans.
John Lewis has had a tricky few years but returned to profit in March – but also announced it still wouldn’t be offering bonuses to staff.
The brand said workers will receive no bonuses again at the end of the financial year despite the department store chain ending up with a profit.
The retail giant’s new chief executive, Nish Kankiwala, confirmed a ‘few hundred’ roles were axed last year under moves to save £88 million in costs, although many of the job cuts were through staff turnover and not replacing workers when they left.
He said the group was looking to cut costs by a ‘similar magnitude’ in the current financial year, which could lead to more roles being stripped out.
