John Lewis is getting rid of a number of its old display kitchens at bargain prices, many of them discounted by more than 50 per cent.
The UK department store giant published a list of kitchens on display in its store on second-hand kitchen sales and showroom site Rehome two weeks ago, with many more to follow this week.
The brand, Rehome says, is “refreshing” its kitchen departments… by selling discontinued products from its department stores across the UK.
Rehome posted photos of the John Lewis store in Kingston, along with a message urging those interested to check out the best deals on its website.
Rehome, the second-hand outlet and showroom site, announced two weeks ago that it would be selling 220 John Lewis kitchens and is now listing them on its website.
Among the offerings listed is this country-inspired Carradale Shaker kitchen on display that once sold for £31,531 and is now on sale for £15,799.
The outlet brand wrote: ‘There is a small window of opportunity to view due to planned removal dates, so you will need to act quickly.’
What’s on offer? Just about everything, from the most gleaming minimalist style to the traditional shaker style.
The price of an Astbury Shaker kitchen from John Lewis in High Wycombe has been reduced from £11,157 to £5,499.
Elsewhere, there’s a luxurious country-style Shaker kitchen from Carradale, once selling for £31,531, now on sale for £15,799.
Another kitchen in the Carradale range, this time in slate grey from John Lewis Welwyn, has been reduced in price to £6,269, down from £10,000 last year. £12,539.
Elsewhere, there was a midnight blue Astbury Shaker kitchen from John Lewis in High Wycombe that was reduced in price from £11,157 to £5,499.
Rehome sells complete kitchens and associated products, including refurbished hot water taps, designer sinks and practical items such as extractor fans.
John Lewis has had a tough few years but returned to profit in March, although it also announced it would no longer offer bonuses to its staff.
The brand said workers will not receive any further bonuses at the end of the financial year despite the department store chain finishing with a profit.
The retail giant’s new chief executive, Nish Kankiwala, confirmed that “a few hundred” jobs were cut last year in a bid to save £88m in costs, although many of the job cuts were made through staff turnover rather than 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 further roles being eliminated.
