Notes:	Message reads Devastated! All you lovely people in [the] Sheffield store so sorry for you all !!! What an iconic store that we love to visit. I detest shopping online, I love a visit to the store. No online for me - no trips to Leeds either. Please reconsider! No point coming into Sheffield now. We travel from Derbyshire just for this store and I know lots of others who do the same. So sad, this store was part of our childhood, now my childen's childhood. I have signed the petition and I hope the store and staff get all the publicity this deserves. Sharen White you have made a big mistake. John Lewis permanently closed its Sheffield store in 2021 (it did not reopen following a Covid pandemic lockdown in the first few months of 2021).
