David Jones CEO John Dixon says the department store chain will spend at least $A100 million over the next three years on improving its food offering. Dixon says that the availability of food helps to encourage customers to stay longer, and it is something that helps to differentiate it from online retailers. Stephen Carrott of JP Morgan suggests that David Jones’s new strategy will help it to generate $A700 million a year from food sales by 2022.
