John Lewis's long awaited store in Exeter finally opens its doors on October 12 and such is the excitement that some people have even taken the day off so as to enjoy this momentous retailing occasion to the full.
Speaking to John Lewis's PR's a few years ago, before the store - a conversion of the former Debenhams - was even mooted, they confessed to getting regular calls from Exeter ladies asking when the never knowingly undersold retailer was coming to the city.
But just to add to the excitement, earlier this month, it was announced that there will be a John Lewis pop-up store in the city centre for six weeks prior to the opening - the retail equivalent of a trailer before the main feature.
