John Lewis & Partners has reported record sales during the week of the “Black Friday” sales extravaganza, despite hiccups with its website.
It said that total sales last week were up 7.7% on the same week last year, “making it the biggest sales week in our history”.
Offer items such as mobile phones, tablets, Google mini smart speakers and Apple AirPods had helped to draw in shoppers in its stores and online, it said.
