It's predominantly clothing and stuff though iirc, which is generally a bit old fashioned.

I’m not surprised. It’s gone from being a nice shop to one that looks like a charity shop. It’s a bloody shame.

They're changing their business model. Going to out town locations. In a few years they'll have very little presence in the High Street.
One In Portsmouth closes early next year. They're opening a new place on the outskirts with a much larger food section.

Completely missed the online clothing bandwagon and rely mainly on food now, which is way overpriced for most people.
aye.. with its 500 million profits per year
no they havent .. you can order anything they sell online same as Next etc.
just a lot more players in the basics market these days

Given they own the building that would seem a bit ridiculous. Probably make it a foodhall only downstairs and all 'fashion' ( i use the term very loosely) upstairs would seem a sensible alternative.
to be fair I've had suits from all over at all price ranges and the M&S ones are still the best for work.

High streets are dead.
Easier to drive to the identikit out-of-town shopping centre.

It's trying to do too much in a small space. It's cluttered and difficult to move around in the ladies clothing section. Rather than just have a few key sections, they've tried to include every section they sell but with a limited range - eg a small Per Una stand, a couple of Autograph items and so on. It's not nice to shop there. I would just have Classic for the old folk and a good range of basics like work wear, every day tops, trousers, dresses etc.
Be a shame if it closes though.

Bishop's M&S moved to Tindale. With practically every other f***ing thing
