M&S to close 14 cafes across the UK

Marks & Spencer (M&S) is set to close 14 of its in-store cafés, primarily to expand its food selection. The closures will not result in job losses, as affected staff will be reassigned. This decision affects only 4% of M&S’s 316 food locations and comes amid a broader trend of high street closures, with the retailer planning to invest £300 million to enhance its food halls by 2028. The specific locations of the closures include branches in Canterbury, Crawley, and several in Kent and Yorkshire.
