Shock closure of Kirkstall M&S Simply Food store announced

A M&S Simply Food Store in Leeds is set to close at the end of September.

The M&S Food Hall at Kirkstall Bridge Shopping Park, Kirkstall, is to shut up shop as the retailer 'reshapes its store estate'.

The closure will impact 29 members of staff, but the company hope to move them other stores in the city.

The retail giant says there are 15 M&S stores within a 30-minute drive of Kirkstall, including M&S Leeds and M&S Pudsey, and Foodhalls in Central Square and Moortown.

Rebecca Newby, M&S head of region for Yorkshire, said: "We’re reshaping our store estate to respond to changing customer habits.

"As part of this we’re closing our Kirkstall Simply Food at the end of September.

"Our priority will be supporting our great team and we expect most of them to relocate to one of the 15 M&S stores within a 30-minute drive from Kirkstall, including M&S Leeds and M&S Pudsey, and our Foodhalls in Central Square and Moortown."
