Here’s some great news for UK camera
shoppers. Jessops, the chain that recently shut down all of its
retail locations, is going to reopen. According to The Telegraph,
we’ll see around 40 stores opening up by the end of the year. This
announcement comes just a few months after the assertion that Jessops
would be online only from here on out.
The first two shops opened today, four
more will be opening over the weekend and by the end of April, 30
Jessops shops will be welcoming customers back. Chief executive Peter
Jones says that the chain will be reimagining what it means to shop
online, and believe that in-store pickup options will be a boon for
the company. The opening of the new stores will result in the
creation of 500 jobs, much needed after the recent closing.
