I think JLP will survive. They have managed to combine an online business with a high street presence. To a large degree the two businesses are integrated.
We have in Norwich what is to my mind about the best independent department store in the country: Jarrolds It was doing really well pre crisis. The had opened a couple of really nice restaurants in the store and a nice wine bar and delicatessen. They understand the need to make shopping an event and have numerous events like fashion evenings and book signings. They would be sorely missed.
