MARKS and Spencer is to close another store within weeks, but it's actually good news for shoppers.<\/p>\n
The closure is part of dozens expected over the next five years, with more set to take place in the coming months.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The M&S store in the Eagles Meadow Foodhall in Wrexham was among those marked for closure, and now a final trading date has been confirmed.<\/p>\n
Shoppers will be able to visit the store for the final time on Thursday, November 30.<\/p>\n
The M&S cafe will close on the slightly earlier date of Saturday, November 4. <\/p>\n
The news comes after M&S revealed it will permanently shut ten of its stores and relocate to new sites this year.<\/p>\n
A post on the retailer's Facebook page reads: "After 15 fantastic years, our cafe doors will close for the final time on Saturday, November 4 at 5pm. <\/p>\n "We've loved every minute of serving our brilliant customers over the years, and we look forward to seeing you in our shiny new Simply Food store."<\/p>\n Fans were quick to comment, with many saying how sad they are to see the store close for good. <\/p>\n One disappointed shopper said: "So sad, end of an era but you're all fabulous."<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Another added: "Thank you so much for all your care and support over the years. <\/p>\n "I am going to miss the cafe. For me, it's been a weekly visit\/institution."<\/p>\n This was echoed by another fan, who said: "The best team, I really enjoyed working with you all."<\/p>\n While a third wrote: "The cafe will be sorely missed, lovely place and lovely staff."<\/p>\n But shoppers upset by the loss of the store will be getting a brand new Simply Good store in the nearby Plas Coch Retail Park on December 1.<\/p>\n New flagship M&S stores have popped up in several major UK cities this year, with more openings to come. You can see the full list below:<\/p>\n The closures\u00a0are part of\u00a067 expected over the next five years.<\/p>\n The high street brand is looking\u00a0to shut some of its "lower productivity, full-line stores"\u00a0to cut costs.<\/p>\n The full list of M&S closures that have taken place so far this year, or are still to come, can be seen below:<\/p>\n The retailer plans to operate\u00a0180 full-line and 400 food halls\u00a0in the next five years.<\/p>\n The rising\u00a0cost of living\u00a0means shoppers are thinking carefully before parting with their hard-earned cash.<\/p>\n With most\u00a0retailers\u00a0now having an online presence it is even easier for people to get what they want without having to leave the house.<\/p>\n This saves on increased town centre parking charges and also takes away the temptation to spend more money by stopping for lunch or a coffee.<\/p>\n But it is not helping the high street retailers, who despite their best efforts cannot get consumers through their doors.<\/p>\n Many big names are finding it impossible to keep their heads above water and are disappearing from our high streets forever.<\/p>\n Wilko collapsed into administration\u00a0in August after failing to find a buyer for the business and the last of its stores closed just last week.<\/p>\n Meanwhile,\u00a0Boots has announced plans to close 300\u00a0shops across the country.<\/p>\n Several chains including\u00a0M&Co\u00a0and Paperchase are also set to close this year.<\/p>\n It is not only retailers that are being affected, major banks are also shutting up shop on the high street.<\/p>\n We have the full list of banks\u00a0closing down for good in October.<\/p>\n Do you have a money problem that needs sorting?
