It depends what sort of stores. They branched out to having food only outlets, which are usually busy. The larger stores carry a better range. The small/mid-size stores usually have a very limited range but the food sections are busy.
( stores sounds reasonable across their estate.

3 traditional food and clothing shops, one simply food store and five outlet stores that sell end of season clothing. |

Depends on why & which stores they are closing really.
If they were over optimistic in the 1st place about the demegraphic of the area then it was probably always on the cards.
Not good for the people that work there tho.

I'd forgotten about the outlet stores. They need to go as they do them so badly that it must affect their brand.

I feel sorry for those who work there, but this is tempered by the fact that the profits from M&S go mainly to Philip Green who takes them out of the country without contributing any taxes on that income (due to clever accounts in the name of his wife). So, on balance, I'm inclined to see M&S closing as a good thing in the hope that it might be replaced by something a little less parasitic. |

"9 stores across the UK closing.
Good or bad thing?
Thoughts...
I personally think it's a good thing, as people are shopping on line more these days. "
Won't affect me, I've never shopped in M and S for anything. Not likely to anytime in the future either. |

"Their Lemon Curd is fantastic
We bought some yesterday to go in a gift basket. You can't beat food gifts for people living abroad from M&S. (Waitrose for those living here.)"

What does Phillip Green have to do with it?

they closed the store in Grantham a few years back..... think its now re-opened as M&S food outlet and think (seem to remember) they offered the jobs to the employees who were there when it closed.
Feel free to correct me if wrong |
