Lastminute.com rules out shops
Lastminute.com has stressed it has now ruled out opening high-street shops after considering the option several months ago.Companies have pitched to the Internet retailer about buying high-street outlets (Travel Weekly June 12).
However, company founder Martha Lane-Fox has said that it had decided not to follow this route.
“People come and pitch to us all the time and it was one of the things that we considered,” she said.
“But this happened about six months ago and we have decided that this route is not right for us. Our focus will remain very much on the Web site.”
