‘Such sad times’ cry shoppers as M&S confirms exact date it will close another fan favourite store
SHOPPERS have been left fuming after MARKS & Spencer confirmed the exact date it will close a fan-favourite branch.
The popular fashion retailer is set to pull the shutters on the decades-old branch in just a few weeks.
Marks and Spencer has confirmed it will close the doors of a popular branch in Queensway.
Bosses have revealed the Crawley store will shut up shop for good on Saturday, November 16.
Graham Bennett, M&S regional manager, said: “After consulting with our colleagues following our proposals earlier this year, our Queensway store will close on Saturday, November 16.
“Individual conversations are continuing with our colleagues and wherever possible, we will be offering them alternative roles with M&S.
“Thank you to all our customers who have shopped at the store – we will continue to work hard serving you at our nearby Acorn Park M&S Food.”
Shoppers will now have to rely on a sister branch that is located at Acorn Park.
Mr Bennett said the management is closing the branch due to “changing shopping patterns” – but added they are looking to invest in a new location within the city centre.
He said: “We remain open to investing in a new, accessible M&S store in Crawley in the future, subject to being able to find the right type of site.”
Fans of the iconic location that has been in business for decades have expressed their rage over the shocking closure.
Michael Jones, Crawley Borough’s Council leader, slammed the closure as “a real blow for the town centre”, Sussex world reports.
One raging shopper wrote on Facebook: “Very angry and upset about this.”
Another customer wrote: “I feel sorry for [shoppers] as they love shopping in there … such sad times.”
A third user said: “This is not going to be good for our town. [It was] the only decent shop we had.”
While a fourth shopper shared: “Awful decision to close M&S.”
OTHER M&S CLOSURES
The news comes after M&S confirmed its Murraygate Dundee will close on July 6, with staff moving to a new superstore at Gallagher Retail Park on July 16.
Earlier this month, the exact closing date of the M&S store in the Belfry Shopping Centre in Redhill, Surrey, was revealed – August 17.
The retailer which runs 405 stores across the country, shut down locations in Manchester, Swindon and Birmingham between August and November last year.
M&S also announced the closure of its Walworth store in South London, and its home store in Kingditch Trading Estate in Tewkesbury, Cheltenham.
The site at The Broadway Shopping Centre closed its doors for the last time on May 18.
If you want to know if your local might be next, we have the full list of M&S stores that are marked for closure in 2024.
Why are M&S stores closing?
In November 2016, the high street chain said that it had marked 110 low-performing stores for closure or change as part of a big 10-year restructuring plan.
Store closures began in April 2017 when the first six stores were announced would shut.
In May 2018, M&S then announced that it was accelerating its plans with over 110 clothes stores due to close by 2022.
By May 2019, M&S revised its plans to 120 clothing store closures by April 2024.
It also added 25 food stores to the firing line, saying they face being axed or relocated.
In 2021 the 30 store closures came after a year of high street retailers battling to survive as a result of the Covid crisis.
As non-essential shops were ordered to close during several national lockdowns in 2020 and 2021, many retailers’ sales, including M&S, took a big hit.
In 2022, the changes come as it faces a tough consumer backdrop, rising inflation and a £100million hit from soaring energy costs.
The retailer has said that it is accelerating its store overhaul to save around £309million in rent costs.
M&S has previously said that it was focused on moving out of tired stores on high streets with low footfall in favour of relocating to retail parks, which continue to prove popular with shoppers.
Not all is bad news
But it wasn’t just closures that the retailer announced – the chain also said it would open 104 new “bigger and fresher” food stores.
In the last 12 months, it has opened 22 sites including in Liverpool, Leeds, Birmingham and Manchester.
Cities like Leeds and Liverpool have already become home to new M&S stores.
Nine openings in November included six new stores plus three store renewals.
It also plans to open over 100 bigger Foodhall sites by 2028.
M&S plans to operate 180 full-line (which include clothing, home and food) and 400 food halls in the next five years.
The new openings will bring investment in new stores to £480million, M&S said in May last year.
Flagship M&S stores have popped up in several major UK cities this year, with more openings to come this year.
Why are retailers closing shops?
EMPTY shops have become an eyesore on many British high streets and are often symbolic of a town centre’s decline.
The Sun’s business editor Ashley Armstrong explains why so many retailers are shutting their doors.
In many cases, retailers are shutting stores because they are no longer the money-makers they once were because of the rise of online shopping.
Falling store sales and rising staff costs have made it even more expensive for shops to stay open. In some cases, retailers are shutting a store and reopening a new shop at the other end of a high street to reflect how a town has changed.
The problem is that when a big shop closes, footfall falls across the local high street, which puts more shops at risk of closing.
Retail parks are increasingly popular with shoppers, who want to be able to get easy, free parking at a time when local councils have hiked parking charges in towns.
Many retailers including Next and Marks & Spencer have been shutting stores on the high street and taking bigger stores in better-performing retail parks instead.
Boss Stuart Machin recently said that when it relocated a tired store in Chesterfield to a new big store in a retail park half a mile away, its sales in the area rose by 103 per cent.
In some cases, stores have been shut when a retailer goes bust, as in the case of Wilko, Debenhams Topshop, Dorothy Perkins and Paperchase to name a few.
What’s increasingly common is when a chain goes bust a rival retailer or private equity firm snaps up the intellectual property rights so they can own the brand and sell it online.
They may go on to open a handful of stores if there is customer demand, but there are rarely ever as many stores or in the same places.
Jack Grealish’s girlfriend shares new snap of their daughter Mila with striking similarity to Man City ace
JACK Grealish’s baby daughter has a fine head of hair — just like her football star father.
Little Mila was seen with a full dark mop despite being less than a month old — albeit with no sign of her dad’s trademark Alice band.
Proud mum Sasha Attwood, 28, posted a snap showing the back of her daughter’s head.
She and her Manchester City star boyfriend, 29, welcomed their first child last month.
In the image, baby Mila is wearing a pink baby grow with angel wings attached to the back.
Sasha embellished the post with heart and angel emojis.
Grealish has described the birth of his daughter as the “best moment of my life”.
He has been recalled to the England squad after being dropped for the Euros and scored in the 3-1 win over Finland.
The couple announced they were expecting in July with Sasha showing off her big baby bump.
Sasha spent a lot of her pregnancy testing out different clothing and offering tips and advice for other mums-to-be.
She signed a lucrative deal with PrettyLittleThing in the summer and began plugging the brand’s maternity wear to her thousands of social media followers.
Sasha has been with the midfielder throughout his professional football career – supporting him at Villa before the star’s £100million move from their hometown of Birmingham to Manchester in 2021.
She celebrated with the winger on the pitch as he won his second Premier League title with City earlier this year.
Sasha, 28, has helped Grealish ditch his party boy persona and they now have a family, welcoming their child into their £5.6million Cheshire mansion with their beloved apricot cockapoo Skye.
Sasha Attwood and Jack Grealish have become parents for the first time, but their relationship started well over a decade ago…
The pair met as teens in Solihull, West Midlands at secondary school, with Sasha previously saying they have been together since she was 15.
Jack was already on his way to becoming a professional footballer when he met Sasha.
Despite the long-term nature of their relationship, she remained on the sidelines when his career took off.
However, intense interest in Jack’s private life came to a head in 2021 when England reached the final of Euro 2020, delayed a year because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Because of their romance, Sasha was cruelly targeted by trolls on TikTok and Instagram, receiving 200 death threats a day from “young girls”.
The pair were spotted on holiday together following the tournament and slowly began showing more of their relationship on social media when the vile trolling died down.
In 2022, they celebrated their 10-year anniversary and purchased a seven-bed mansion set in 24 acres worth £5.6 million.
They moved in to the home in late 2023, but Sasha and members of Jack’s family were subject to a terrifying robbery while cheering on the Manchester City star during a televised match just after Christmas.
Their latest milestone is Sasha’s pregnancy, which they announced on social media on July 7, and the birth of daughter Mila Rose on September 27.
Big Brother fans left baffled after Sarah makes BIG mistake during task
BIG Brother fans have been left scratching their heads after Sarah Griffiths made a huge faux pas during the latest task.
In a bid for the contestants to win luxury shopping items, the BB house has been transformed into Downing Street.
The housemates have been divided up into Government roles, with Khaled being named Prime Minister, Emma made Minister of Transport, Daze as Minister for Energy and Nathan given the job Minister for Agriculture.
A mock set of Number 10 Downing Street has even been installed in the BB house, which leads to the Government’s ‘offices’ away from the remaining contestants.
But as the task got underway, Sarah made a huge gaffe as she repeatedly banged on the door of Number 10.
Highlighting to the nation that she doesn’t know who the UK’s Prime Minister is, the farmer shouted: “Rishi…Rishi…Rishi….Rishi!
“Stop making the pensioners pay more, they’re going to freeze to death!”
Rishi Sunak has not been Prime Minister for more than three months, following the 2024 General Election. Keir Starmer is now PM.
Sarah was joined by fellow housemate Izaaz at the door and he failed to correct her mistake.
Big Brother fans couldn’t believe their ears and rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their astonishment.
One exclaimed: “Do they still think Rishi is Prime Minister?!”
Another added: “Rishi?? He hasn’t been prime minister for months now loool.”
A third penned “Does Sarah know that Rishi’s not the PM anymore??”
And someone else added: “Can someone tell Sarah Rishi Sunak isn’t the Prime Minister anymore!”
Meanwhile, a huge row erupted during the Big Brother Government task – over a bagel.
Dean threw one of the Minsters’ leftover lunchtime bagels in the kitchen bin to avoid anyone eating it and losing the task.
Emma briefly questioned his decision – before Izaaz began telling housemates she was “upset” over it.
An almighty argument blew up, with a furious Dean branding Izaaz a “sh** stirrer”.

Thomas Tuchel to SURPASS Southgate at first attempt as supercomputer predicts how England will do at World Cup 2026
A SUPERCOMPUTER has predicted how England will get on at the 2026 World Cup under the management of new boss Thomas Tuchel.
Tuchel has penned an 18-month contract with the Three Lions that will see him take charge of the nation for the 2026 tournament.
The former Chelsea and Bayern Munich gaffer will have the hopes of the nation on his back as he looks to go one better than Gareth Southgate‘s efforts at the Euros last summer.
And he seems pretty calm about that pressure, insisting he “doesn’t feel” the weight of expectation – even in the hot-seat for the England national team.
That may be because he’s confident that he will be able to build upon the foundations laid by Southgate over the past eight years.
And a World Cup simulation on a supercomputer has the exact same idea, predicting that Tuchel will surpass Southgate’s best ever World Cup effort on his first attempt.
The whizzes behind SimWorldCup have suggested that England will manage a THIRD PLACE finish at the 2026 World Cup in North America.
Their simulation sees Tuchel’s men breezing through the group stages and pushing all the way to the semi-final before suffering heartbreak to a familiar foe – Spain.
A 1-0 defeat to the Spaniards in the semi-final would set up a third-place play-off against Uruguay – a match which England are predicted to win 1-0 themselves.
That would be one step better than Southgate managed during his first tournament in the 2018 World Cup.
ANDY DILLON: Thomas Tuchel has all the ingredients to become a classic England manager – tactical nous, drive and a tangled love life
By Andy Dillon
THOMAS TUCHEL possesses all the ingredients to become a classic England manager.
Tactical nous, drive, energy, experience – a tangled love life.
English football should welcome back the most explosive, dynamic, charismatic and impossibly tall and gangly coach to have lit up the Premier League.
Chelsea’s colourful former boss has been leading a settled life in Munich of late.
Far enough away from ex-wife Sissi but close enough to see his two daughters.
Walking his dog in the streets in the east of Germany’s most fashionable city, residing in the posh Bogenhausen area. Living relatively quietly with his Brazilian girlfriend.
Tuchel is a vastly different personality to the man who led England quietly but assuredly to the brink of World Cups and European Championships.
An excitable nature can make him hard to handle for those seeking calm and who like to impose their way on a manager they view very much as an underling.
Read more on why Tuchel REALLY IS the best man for the England job
FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS
Southgate’s brave lions managed to reach the semi-finals in Russia, where they were knocked out by Croatia in extra-time.
But the former England manager didn’t manage to get the better of Belgium in the third place play-off, ultimately taking fourth in his debut tournament.
Of course, Southgate went on to reach two European Championship finals in 2021 and 2024 as well.
Tuchel appears to have been brought in by the FA with the goal of securing World Cup glory in 2026 and a third place finish may not be enough to get him an extension on his 18-month deal.
However, the supercomputer’s prediction did see the German pulling off some impressive victories throughout the tournament.
The Three Lions topped their group with three wins from three over South Korea, Paraguay and South Africa.
While their knockout efforts included wins over Panama, host nation the USA and Belgium.
And Tuchel’s men are in line for some attractive football if the simulation is to be correct, as England netted 17 times and conceded just three across the supercomputer’s predictions.
In the remainder of the tournament the supercomputer predicted that Argentina would win their second World Cup on the bounce – defeating Spain 1-0 in the final.
While home nations Wales and Scotland both made it out of their groups before being knocked out in the last-32 to Belgium and France respectively.

Liam Payne dead: One Direction star dies aged 31 after ‘falling from 3rd floor balcony’ of Buenos Aires hotel
FORMER One Direction member Liam Payne has died in Argentina after reportedly falling from his hotel balcony.
The pop star was in Buenos Aires for pal Niall Horan’s tour when he tragically plunged from the third floor this afternoon, TMZ reports.
A source confirmed to The Sun that Liam has died.
Liam was staying at Hotel CasaSur in the neighbourhood of Palermo, local media report.
A red tent has reportedly been put up over the body as cops begin the investigation into the death.
Witnesses said Liam smashed his laptop and had to be carried back to his room following the incident, TMZ reports.
Cops were called to an erratic man but when they arrived, they found Liam dead.
The 31-year-old rose to fame through the boy band and then carried on with his own solo career after the group broke up.
Liam was part of the One Direction between 2008 and 2015 and had released one solo album in 2019 – LP1.
The Sun revealed last week that Liam had parted ways with his management and had shelved plans for a second solo album.
And earlier this week Liam’s ex Maya Henry called in the lawyers after accusing Liam of repeatedly messaging her, her friends, and her mum.
Liam made his debut as a singer when he auditioned for The X Factor in 2008.
After being eliminated as a solo artist he auditioned again in 2010 and was put into a group with four other contestants to form One Direction.
Liam dated singer Cheryl Cole with the pair having a child named Bear in 2017.
They split in 2018 before he was linked to supermodel Naomi Campbell in 2019.
He had an on-off, three-year relationship with ex-fiancée Maya Henry which was said to have ended for good in May, 2022.
The singer had been open about his battles with drugs.
In 2021, he blamed a “pills and booze phase” for bloating his face to “ten times the size”, while also revealing he used to guzzle the contents of his mini bar when band chiefs checked the lads into hotels to keep fans at bay.
In 2019, Liam revealed he suffered suicidal thoughts as he struggled with his fame he revealed on Ant Middleton And Liam Payne: Straight Talking.
He said: “For some certain circumstances I’m quite lucky to be here still.
“There are times when that level of loneliness and people getting into you every day, it’s like, ‘When will this end?’ That’s almost nearly killed me a couple of times.”

Music stars and One Direction fans pay tribute to Liam Payne as he dies aged 31 after ‘fall from hotel balcony’
SHOCKED fans have started to flood Liam Payne’s last Instagram post with tributes as news of the singer’s death emerges.
According to TMZ, he fell to his death from his hotel balcony in Argentina this afternoon.
The pop star was staying at Hotel Cas Sur in the neighbourhood of Palermo when cops were called to check on “an aggressive man who could be under the influence of drugs or alcohol”.
A red tent has reportedly been put up over his body as police begin their investigation into the death.
After the news went public, heartbroken followers began to leave messages for Liam under a tribute he made to Morgan Spurlock 20 weeks ago.
One person wrote: “Rest in peace Liam.”
Another sobbed: “And now it’s our turn to say goodbye to you Liam, I can’t believe it.”
A third added: “Heartbreaking. RIP Liam.”
German DJ Anton Zaslavski, otherwise known as Zedd, has taken to X with a devastated statement.
The producer who worked with Liam on his 2017 hit Get Low wrote: “RIP Liam… I can’t believe this is real…absolutely heartbreaking…”
Liam was part of One Direction between 2008 and 2015 and had released one solo album in 2019 – LP1.
Amanda Holden, 53, shows off toned legs in mini skirt as she wows on red carpet at BGT auditions
AMANDA Holden was the queen of green yesterday as she stole the show at the launch auditions for Britain’s Got Talent.
The 53-year-old TV judge wore an olive satin mini skirt and off-the-shoulder top as she walked the red carpet in front of fans at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool.
She was joined by fellow judges on the ITV show Alesha Dixon, and Simon Cowell as well as hosts Ant and Dec.
YouTuber and boxer KSI made his debut on the panel — temporarily filling in for ex-Strictly Come Dancing judge Bruno Tonioli, who is filming in the US.
The new series of BGT kicks off early next year.
Last week, Amanda successfully completed her whopping 250 mile charity bike ride, and shouted “my bum is killing me” as she passed the finish line and had an emotional reunion with her husband Chris.
The star has been cycling from her mum’s house in Bude, Cornwall, to Heart HQ in London‘s Leicester Square to raise funds for Make Some Noise, which raises money for small charities across the UK.
And she looked both delighted and exhausted as she cycled up to her colleagues, fans and family members in Leicester Square this morning, as confetti flew through the air and cheers were heard from the crowds.
The challenge kicked off on Monday and has continued throughout the week as she travelled through Somerset, Berkshire, Wiltshire, and Surrey, with her destination set for today – just in time for Global’s Make Some Noise Day.
Inflation dips to lowest level in three years after fall in petrol and diesel prices
PETROL and diesel prices falling an average ten per cent have seen inflation dip to the lowest level in three years.
Official figures yesterday showed consumer price inflation fell to 1.7 per cent in September — down from 2.2 per cent in August.
That is below the Bank of England’s two per cent target, lower than forecasts and way down on the 11 per cent rate in October 2022.
Myron Jobson, analyst at Interactive Investor, said: “The pace of price rises hasn’t been this low since the days of Covid lockdowns.”
The drop boosted money markets’ predictions of interest rate cuts next month — which would be a big help for businesses, borrowers and mortgage holders.
Markets have put a 91 per cent likelihood of the Bank lowering rates from five per cent to 4.75 per cent at its meeting in November.
Some economists highlighted Governor Andrew Bailey’s recent comments that the Bank could be more “aggressive” and suggested a cut to 4.5 per cent.
However the drop in inflation will deal a blow to millions of Brits on benefits.
Rises in universal credit, and disability living and carers allowance, are pegged to September’s figure.
It means the standard allowance of universal credit, for a single person under 25, is expected go up in April by just £5.30 a month to about £317.
For a couple over 25, the rise is likely to be £10.50 to £628 a month.
Danni Hewson, at investment platform AJ Bell, said: “Last year the standard allowance for a couple over the age of 25 jumped by almost £40 a month.”
The City is still nervous, with inflation set to rise above two per cent in October due to higher energy bills following the regulator raising its price cap.
And there are fears fuel duty will rise in the Budget, despite The Sun’s decade-long Keep It Down campaign.
SLAP OF LUXURY
THE fizz has gone flat at Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy after around £10billion was knocked off its value yesterday amid slowing demand for luxury goods.
LVMH, which has called on Game of Thrones actress Sophie Turner to be the latest face of Louis Vuitton handbags, recorded a 5 per cent slip in fashion and leather goods, the first fall since the start of the pandemic.
Shares in LVMH fell as much as 7 per cent, closing down 4.5 per cent, valuing the business at £250billion.
Champagne sales fell, knocking sales in its wine and spirits division by 8 per cent.
LVMH is counting on Beyonce’s new whisky brand, SirDavis, for an uplift.
LVMH said sales in Asia fell by 16 per cent in the past three months
FIRMS’ TAX FEAR
SHOPS, pubs and restaurants face a £2.63billion “double whammy” hit from business rates rises, unless the Chancellor makes good on reforms.
Business rate bills are based on September’s inflation figures.
Research by property firm Altus Group forecasts the 1.7 per cent inflation rate announced yesterday means business rates will jump by £488million in England.
Some £224million will be paid by retail, hospitality and leisure.
Small firms also face the loss of the last government’s 75 per cent rates discount.
JUST EAT’S SWELL
TAKEAWAY delivery firm Just Eat has posted a 6 per cent rise in sales to £1.5billion in the UK and Ireland.
The firm yesterday said a 1 per cent drop in food orders was offset by higher menu prices, bringing its best UK sales in three years.
The company recently launched a tie-up with adult retailer Lovehoney and is focusing on partnerships with retailers including Boots and Lush.
Just Eat’s US sales slumped by 12 per cent.
Boss Jitse Groen said the UK continued with “positive momentum”.
JOHN LEWIS will lend customers up to £35,000 in a partnership deal with digital lender Zopa.
The department store said loans can be approved in minutes, with no “hard searches” affecting credit scores and a “representative” 9.9 per cent interest rate.
CALL FOR BRAKE ON CARS BAN
THE boss of Vertu Motors car dealership group has called on the government to delay its 2030 net zero deadline.
It comes amid manufacturers now rationing petrol and diesel motors to avoid fines if they sell too many this year.
Vertu’s Robert Forrester said some drivers buying a car this winter may have to wait for new year when next quotas kick in.
Manufacturers have to ensure 22 per cent of all the vehicles sold this year are electric, or face a £15,000 fine for every car over the limit.
Vertu posted a 3 per cent rise in half year sales to £2.5billion.
Profits slumped by 27 per cent to £22million following minimum wage increases.
Mr Forrester also took aim at the Chancellor’s proposed tax changes amid warnings it could destroy London’s junior Aim stock market, where Vertu launched in 2006.
He said he would “urge the Government to carefully consider the impact”.
INN’S JOB VACUUM
PREMIER INN is turning to robot vacuum cleaners at its hotels to reduce human staff.
Boss of parent company Whitbread, Dominic Paul, did not rule out more redundancies as he ramps up cost cutting by £20million to £60million.
Whitbread has already axed 1,000 jobs in a year.
The group posted a 22 per cent tumble in half year pre-tax profits to £309million.
Savings are to be made by using tech.
FA never approached Eddie Howe for England job despite interviewing ten different managers
MARK BULLINGHAM claimed there is a lack of top-quality English coaches to choose from — yet never approached Eddie Howe.
The FA chief executive insists he had to go abroad for a new boss and that Thomas Tuchel was the ideal candidate.
Bullingham revealed the FA spoke to ten managers but SunSport understands Newcastle boss Howe was not one of them.
He said: “We ran a really clear process. We spoke to approximately ten throughout the process.
“Clearly some were more up for the role than others.
“We were absolutely delighted to end up with Thomas and we believe he gives us the best chance of winning the World Cup.”
Although Howe was not spoken to, the FA knew that Newcastle would have demanded a large amount of compensation.
Another English boss in the running was Graham Potter, out of work since being sacked by Chelsea last year.
But Bullingham still believes the pathway for English coaches is clear.
He said: “If you look at St George’s Park overall, it has been a really good success.

“Our pathway is really strong, both from a coaches and players point of view. There are a lot of fantastic young coaches.
“Clearly you would love to have five to ten domestic candidates who are coaching clubs in your domestic league, challenging and winning honours in your domestic league and European football.
“We are not quite in that place at the moment.
“As we set out our process, our priority was to find someone that can give our players the best possible chance to win.
“We have found that, and we have got Thomas — and we are delighted.”
Aside from Howe, only Everton’s Sean Dyche and Wolves’ Gary O’Neil are English Prem bosses but Southampton’s Russell Martin was born in England despite playing for Scotland.
Ashley Cole has been appointed as a full-time national coach at the FA.
And Lee Carsley returns to lead the Under-21s after his stint as seniors boss ends this year.
Bullingham added: “We would love to have more English coaches managing in the Premier League.”
Tuchel’s English No 2 at Chelsea and Bayern Munich, Anthony Barry, will join the German in the Three Lions dugout.
And Bullingham said: “We had a clear recruitment plan in place before the Euros and a shortlist if we needed it.
“Thomas was absolutely outstanding, providing a really clear vision for the role and how he would work with our players.”
