Almost definitely not as Peter Jones is just one single department store
that got subsumed into the John Lewis Partnership, everywhere else (except
other local stores that kept their names like Trewins in Watford and Robert
Sayle in Cambridge) it's John Lewis. (Did you live very close to Sloane
Square when you were here?).
Anyway, what on earth is that T.K. Maxx nonsense about? I have a vision of
the boardroom: "Ah, the Brits'll never go into a store called T.J. Maxx,
we've got to come up with a new name." "How about T.K. Maxx?" "Brilliant,
they'll understand that!" ????
