Retailer unveils new format outlet in Exeter, designed by architect Glenn Howells

John Lewis Exeter

John Lewis has opened its first “flexible format” store in Exeter.

The format sits between the brand’s full-size department stores and smaller “at home” shops. Architect Glenn Howells completed shell and core work on the £13.4m scheme which provides 110,000ft2 of retail space in a former Debenhams store.

The development was built by main contractor Midas Group for developer Land Securities with Ramboll UK providing structural engineering services.
