Full List of All the Marks and Spencer Cafe Closures Across the UK
Less than 4% of M&S food shops will close cafés to expand bakery, takeaway coffee, and food-to-go options as part of a foodhall redesign, the retailer said.
- Shortly, Marks and Spencer has announced it is closing cafés in some smaller food-only stores, with fewer than four per cent of its 316 food shops affected, including the Barn Road M&S Foodhall in Congleton.
- To adapt to changing shopping habits, M&S regional manager Katie Whelan said the retailer is repurposing café space to expand bakery counters, takeaway coffee stations and food-to-go ranges.
- Affected sites include Crawley, Dunblane, Stone, Hull and several Kent stores, with fewer than four per cent of M&S food shops impacted, the retailer said.
- M&S said no jobs will be lost and impacted staff will be redeployed within stores, acknowledging the news will disappoint some customers but teams will continue serving them in-store.
- It now has 325 fully owned food stores and wants 420 by 2028, with more than twenty stores planned for opening or modernisation and a 500-site wish list targeting larger, visible locations.
