M&S and Morrisons among high street retailers announcing closures

More and more high street shops are shutting their doors for good, and this trend seems set to continue. Both Morrisons and Marks and Spencer have announced upcoming closures, as have the British Heart Foundation and numerous other high street retailers.

Marks and Spencer has confirmed plans to shut 14 in-store cafés, affecting 13 locations in England and one in Scotland. The high street giant said the move is part of a store restructuring strategy designed to “provide more product choice and improve the shopping experience.” All impacted cafés in England and Scotland are set to close their doors by the end of the year.

CEO Dr Charmaine Griffiths said: “Like most retailers, we are facing an exceptionally challenging trading environment. Cardiovascular disease remains one of the UK’s biggest killers and our priority is funding research to save lives.

“We must take the difficult step to close some of our shops to sustain retail’s important contribution to funding BHF’s groundbreaking research.”

Similarly, Coughlans Bakery, which is part-owned by comedian Romesh Ranganathan, has ceased trading with immediate effect after going into liquidation.

Managing Director Sean Coughlan and Romesh confirmed the news, saying “gutted isn’t the word”. Voughlan had been operating since 1937, with locations across South London, Surrey, Kent, and West Sussex.
