I wonder if Marks & Spencers will become another casualty in the closures eventually! I think it is mainly the food side that has kept it going this long. Even that is starting to suffer.
The adult clothing side of M & S I wouldn't touch with a barge pole. Not my style. I dress too way out for M & S clothing
M&S Clothing is white upper middle class £20 for a shirt that you can buy elsewhere for a tenner. Their own branded aint all that either...
Down to only 66.8million I read. My heart bleeds lolM & S profits down by 62% it's being reported.
Every Pret a Manger employee is to receive a £1,000 windfall as the British sandwich chain shop is taken over by the German-controlled company behind Krispy Kreme donuts and Kenco coffee, in a deal worth more than £1.5bn.
Bridgepoint, the UK-based private equity firm, has agreed to sell Pret to the investment group JAB Holdings, which has been rapidly acquiring companies linked to the coffee market in recent years.
On Tuesday, Clive Schlee, the Pret a Manger chief executive, said 12,000 of the coffee shops’s employees, from head office staff to baristas, would receive a £1,000 payout on completion of the deal.
I had a very quick browse in the M&S clothes section a couple of weeks ago
If you want something fashionable you’d go somewhere else, if you want something cheap you’d probably go somewhere else
The problem with all of these old stores is you can do it all online, search across 5 or 6 “shops” at once and find the special offers and get more of a choice
But you can't try clothes on when you shop online. This is precisely why I, and many others, still use shops. I buy loads og things online but rarely clothes. M&S serve a particular customer and you are not in their key domographic, you are too young. It remains to be seen whether or not their key demographic is enough to maintain their industry share and profitability but eiher way, young adults such as yourself have never been their target market.
