Last updated 2nd Apr 2022
Marks and Spencer has confirmed one of its branches, on Sauchiehall Street, will close on the 30th April. The company, which owns the historic building, says it's working with a potential partner to find a "complementary alternative use" for the site.
M&S Regional Manager, David Bates said: “Shopping habits are changing, and this means we need to focus our investment on the right stores in the right places so we can provide the very best shopping experience for our Glasgow customers. As part of this transformation, in January, we announced to colleagues our proposal to close our Sauchiehall Street store and this date is now confirmed as 30 April.
"This means we can invest in our twelve other Glasgow stores including nearby M&S Argyle Street - so we keep pace with the demands of our customers today and in the future.
"We've worked hard to find alternative roles with M&S for as many colleagues as possible and have achieved this for the majority of those affected. Our priority is to support everyone through these changes. We would like to thank all our colleagues – past and present – for making M&S Sauchiehall St so special as well as our wonderful customers.
"We want to make sure our existing site finds a complementary alternative use for the area, and we are in discussions with a potential partner. We will keep the community and key stakeholders updated as these developments progress.”
The closure - four weeks today - comes as a further blow to one of Glasgow's best-known locations.
