marks & Spencer is it really closing?
 

hi folks is it true if M&S in accrington is closing?

Re: marks & Spencer is it really closing?
 

Don't know, but it's too expensive for me anyway! as long as we can still cut through to the Arndale when someone takes over the spot, i'm not bothered!

Re: marks & Spencer is it really closing?
 

Well if it is closing, I wonder if it will be re-opened as yet another card shop!  (How many does one town need?)

Re: marks & Spencer is it really closing?
 

Yeah but when it comes to having a choice of cards. We get the best and nothing else.  ;D ;D ;D

Re: marks & Spencer is it really closing?

Re: marks & Spencer is it really closing?

Re: marks & Spencer is it really closing?

Re: marks & Spencer is it really closing?
 

Wish it would and make wayy for a bigger pound stretcher

Re: marks & Spencer is it really closing?
 

NO need for Marks to close for bigger pound strecher because pound land is opening and also a Wilkinsons. Can't wait.

Re: marks & Spencer is it really closing?
 

Well that was £500k well spent.

This thread is from 2003.....so I guess they got their money's worth.

Re: marks & Spencer is it really closing?
 

So whats the latest on this? was supposed to be gone at christmas i heard the last time.:confused:

Re: marks & Spencer is it really closing?
 

Don't know Cashy....I have heard that they will be gone by Easter.

Re: marks & Spencer is it really closing?
 

I've heard they will close at end of March.

Re: marks & Spencer is it really closing?
 

Easter is the end of March isn't it?
That is what I heard too.

Re: marks & Spencer is it really closing?
 

Yes Easter Sunday is March 27th (I think) so not sure if just before, or just after Easter when it closes.

Re: marks & Spencer is it really closing?
 

well its been a long time in the making.... thread started in 2003 :D

Re: marks & Spencer is it really closing?
 

someone was on facebook helping them relocate to the new store

well that would be my excuse if i was caught on cctv walking out with hundreds of pounds worth of gear in my arms

if anyone knows them ring the police the last i saw they wernt caught yet

their security man wasnt simply M&S he was simply asleep on the job by the looks of it

Re: marks & Spencer is it really closing?
 

I was in town last Tuesday and saw two police(well, no it was one policeman and one PCSO) hurrying into M&S, looking like they were on a mission. I thought they were just rushing to get the lunch butties before the best ones had gone.

Looking at the stuff on offer in M&S they will struggle to make much on what they nicked(if it was clothes).....the current fashions(if you can call them that) are dire!

Re: marks & Spencer is it really closing?
 

Probably just trying to get rid of all the crap before they go, n that couple were helping them.:D

Re: marks & Spencer is it really closing?
 

not feeling the love for a company that is abandoning the town despite turning a profit

no customer loyalty

M&S can F&O :D

Re: marks & Spencer is it really closing?
 

Closure confirmed for 30th March (Wednesday).
M&S will shut its Accrington store at the end of the month (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Re: marks & Spencer is it really closing?
 

It seems Accrington is not going to be the only town to loose its M & S store. The new boss, Steve Rowe is to announce next week that dozens of their stores are to be axed and others are to stop selling clothes and concentrate on food. Personally I think he would be better catering for the more mature lady for one thing. There are umpteen shops on the high street for the young but hardly any for the older lady. Their stores for a few years have had far more clothes for the 20/30 yrs olds. Trouble is that age group in general do not shop there.
