Marks and Spencer closes Nottingham store

Marks & Spencer is to close one of its Nottingham city centre stores in response to changing shopping habits.

The retail giant said that no jobs will be lost and staff at the store – which sells homewares and furnishings – will transfer to its nearby Albery Street outlet.

Zoe Gibbard, M&S head of region for South East Midlands, said: “Shopping habits are changing, so we’re reshaping our store estate to ensure it meets the needs of customers today – and those of tomorrow.

“As part of this transformation, we have today announced that our M&S Home store on Lister Gate will not reopen again to customers and all colleagues will move to work in our main Nottingham M&S store on Albert Street.

“We appreciate that this will be disappointing news for some, but we believe this is the right decision to ensure a sustainable future in Nottingham and the best possible offer for local customers.

” We have previously announced our plans to open a new M&S store in the local area at Giltbrook Retail Park which we are hoping to open in summer 2020 and we will keep the community updated as the works on this new store progress.”
