Marks & Spencer outlines changes as clothing departments prepare to reopen

2nd June 2020

Marks & Spencer has said it will reopen the majority of its clothing departments on June 15 as it laid out a series of changes to operations due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The high street stalwart has continued operations at its food stores through the outbreak but closed most of its clothing operations in March.

It said its 260 stores which typically sell food and clothing have been focused on grocery sales for the past three months.

However, clothing departments will reopen fully at the majority of these sites on June 15 after the Government gave the go-ahead for non-essential retail, which includes fashion, to restart.
