SALES at Britain's biggest department store group John Lewis rose nearly 5 per cent in the five weeks to Dec 27, driven by the "Black Friday" frenzy at the start of the period and by last-minute Christmas gift-buying at the end.
While sales in the Black Friday discount event were led by electricals and home technology, the most popular gifts for Christmas included fitness trackers, coffee machines and kitchen appliances, the employee-owned group said on Monday.
