X : Thought on John Lewis getting into rental properties?
Me : You mean this - theguardian.com/business/2021/… ... very timely, very smart.
X : Really, rental?
Me : No, think of it like John Lewis Kitchens, John Lewis Bathrooms, John Lewis Decorating, John Lewis Roof Extensions ...

X : You are kidding?
Me : Nope. There's a huge market for a trusted name to come into the home improvement space. Not just selling supplies but project management. The market is screaming for it. This is a good move by John Lewis, focused on the users, adapting with the times.

Me : The whole building 10,000 rental properties should be seen as cover for building up the capabilities, networks, supply chains and testing environment to launch a nationwide home improvement service. I assume this is what John Lewis is upto. It's on the ball.
X : John Lewis loft conversions?
Me : Yep. John Lewis property extentions, hell ... even John Lewis homes built to order. It needs that trusted brand, they have it, they can play to it. This is a bold gutsy move ... I do like it. Rental? That's missing the bigger picture.

X : John Lewis Plumbing?
Me : No, you're missing the whole "project" aspect and getting into the weeds. Users don't want plumbing except in an emergency (and there is plenty of that) ... what they want is a new bathroom, a new loft conversion, a new etc.

X : What if John Lewis aren't doing this?
Me : Do you mean, what if John Lewis is simply building some properties to rent?
X : Yes
Me : That would be a wasted opportunity.
