The Southport store is not on the list facing imminent closure.



MARKS and Spencer has announced that it will close over 100 stores by 2022 as part of a radical restructuring plan first announced in 2016.

The retailer has now identified the latest 14 stores facing the axe, following on from the 21 that it has already closed. Here's what you need to know...

On May 22, Marks and Spencer revealed the latest 14 stores facing closure.

Three will shut by the end of July 2018.

Bayswater
Fleetwood Outlet
Newton Abbot Outlet
Two others will both close by early 2019:

Clacton
Holloway Road
Nine other stores are proposed for closure, and enter a period of consultation.

This puts the jobs of 626 employees under threat, although M&S has pledged that these workers will be offered roles elsewhere before redundancy was considered.

Darlington
East Kilbride
Falkirk
Kettering
Newmarket
New Mersey Speke
Northampton
Stockton
Walsall
In total, 21 Marks and Spencer stores have closed already, including three which were relocated.

The closed stores are:

Andover
Basildon
Birkenhead
Bournemouth
Bridlington
Covent Garden
Crewe
Dover
Durham
Fareham
Fforestfach
Greenock
Keighley
Newry
Portsmouth
Putney
Redditch
Slough
Stockport
Warrington
Wokingham

Whether it's down to the Internet, shopping theme changes etc etc, the stuff they sell is.......dowdy, style less even Per Una, old fashioned, and a whole host of negatives. Once the rot sets in, sorry not a lot you can do even if Southport survives!!!
