Retail has taken a hit in recent years, first due to the pandemic and second, the cost of living crisis.<\/p>\n

Both major events have caused consumer shopping and spending habits to change.<\/p>\n

Back in August, Retail Gazette reported: “According to the British Retail Consortium, 6,000 shops have closed down in the UK in the last five years as a result of crippling business rates, a wave of administrations during the pandemic, and hesitancy around new openings.”<\/p>\n

However, Britons need not fear, as several popular retailers have also announced ambitious new store launches.<\/p>\n

The Telegraph claimed that Marks and Spencer will be opening a total of nine stores in November 2023, spending \u00a380million in total.<\/p>\n
