π¨ Big news for Newport shoppers! Marks & Spencer has announced that their city centre store in Friars Walk will sadly be closing this June. π
This decision comes as part of M&S’s ongoing UK-wide store rotation programme, responding to the shift in customer shopping habits. But don’t worry, theyβre still committed to serving the Newport community through nearby stores and their online shop.

A spokesperson highlighted that with the lease on their Newport store expiring and changing shopping trends, this move makes sense for the brand’s future. But, it’s not all doom and gloom! M&S is supporting its colleagues during this transition, exploring alternative roles in nearby locations. πͺ

Richard Owen, M&S regional manager, shared: βWe know this news might be disappointing for some, but our top priority is to support our colleagues and continue offering our customers a great experience in other nearby stores.β

This closure follows the recent announcement of the impending closure of their Swansea Oxford Street store, part of the brand’s strategy to ensure their stores are in the best locations to serve you better.
Keep an eye out for further updates, and remember, M&S is always just a few clicks away online! ποΈπ
