Folkestone Marks and Spencer to Close
Monday 3rd Apr 2006
Folkestone Marks & Spencer is to close because the company says the branch is
not commercially viable. A period of consultation is under way before the staff
in the Folkestone store are offered other local jobs.
Local shopper Season Prater said:
"The loss of Marks and Spencer is a real loss to Folkestone. The new shopping
centre development will hopefully bring new brands, new shoppers and new life to
the town - it's a shame M&S couldn't be part of it."
The head of Marks & Spencer's south division, Anthony Hemmerdinger, said:
"I would like to thank the team for their commitment and excellent service. We
have looked at every option to keep the store open."
