With 35 retail outlets in Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Concessions and third-party outlet stores in 6 countries. Three-hundred and twenty-two Waitrose supermarkets across the United Kingdom, and an eagerly anticipated Christmas ad campaign every year, John Lewis is one of the most popular names in luxury high-street shopping.
Not bad for a brand that opened one small store on Oxford Street, London, in 1864.
So, with its popularity unwavering worldwide, a question we get from a lot of American customers is this:
“Are there John Lewis stores in the USA?”
Let’s not beat around the bush.
So, are there John Lewis stores in the USA?
Put simply: no.
Outside of the UK, John Lewis (at the time of writing) has third-party outlets in:
. Gibraltar
. Chile
. Peru
. Malta
. Republic of Ireland
As far as we know, there are currently no plans to open any stores in the US soon or in the near future. As a result, it’s unlikely that we’ll be able to answer yes to the question, are there John Lewis stores in the USA for the foreseeable.
Are there stores like John Lewis in the US?
Yes, and no.
While there’s no direct store comparison in terms of quality and price (because John Lewis really is an all-encompassing high-end, boutique department store), that doesn’t mean there aren’t similar ones.
The closest stores to John Lewis in the United States are:
- Target: – in terms of departments, but the gap in quality to John Lewis is substantial.
- Best Buy: – in terms of tech, gadgets and home furnishings.
- Macy’s: – in terms of high-end quality and pricing, however, it has fewer departments than John Lewis.
All of the above are great at what they do, and it’s understandable if they’re more convenient and budget-friendly for customers in the US.
But should a little thing like the Atlantic Ocean stop you from compromising on quality?

The Louvre, with its clear, modern lines isn’t just a desk. It’s a work of art worthy of its place in any home office. It has four angled drawers for storing your documents, stationery, stress balls and chocolate (when you need an energy boost).
