Marks and Spencer set to close The Junction outlet

Marks and Spencer has confirmed that it is to close its outlet at The Junction.

Today it was announced that 17 stores will close across the UK.


The retailer is planning to close 100 stores by 2022.

The latest plans will affect over 1,000 staff, who will now be involved in a consultation process.

The company is preparing to move a third of its sales online.

And it says it’s willing to listen to alternative suggestions from them in relation to ideas on how to keep the stores operating.

No stores will close until this process has been completed.

In a trading update, M&S said it was seeing ‘encouraging early signs’ from its reorganisation, despite further falls in clothing and food sales over the Christmas quarter.

The 17 stores announced today (Tuesday) are:

Ashford

Barrow

Bedford

Boston

Buxton

Cwmbran

Deal

Felixstowe

Huddersfield

Hull

Junction One Antrim Outlet

Luton Arndale

Newark

Northwich

Rotherham

Sutton Coldfield

Weston Super Mare
