Burton's M&S shop is safe after the food and clothing chain announced it will be shutting more than 100 stores by 2022, with thousands of jobs at risk.
Marks & Spencer, which has a store in Burton Coopers Square shopping centre, has released a list of 14 stores which could close under its accelerating clothing and home space programme.
It will also open 15 fewer of its Simply Food stores than planned this year as food store opening programme is scaled back. It opened one of its Simply Food stores in Ashby last year.
M&S today announced the UK stores proposed for closure or set to close as it reshapes its UK store estate in line with its target to take at least a third of sales online.
It says it will now close more than 100 stores in total by 2022. This includes 21 that have already closed and the 14 stores that are announced today as proposed for closure or set to close.
The announcement comes a day before the retailer is expected to unveil another troubling set of annual figures.
Wednesday's results are set to show that underlying pre-tax profit across the group fell six per cent to £573 million.
Alongside relocations, conversions, downsizes and the introduction of concessions, bosses said that these closures would radically reshape its clothing and home space programme.
Sacha Berendji, retail, operations and property director at Marks & Spencer, said: "We are making good progress with our plans to reshape our store estate to be more relevant to our customers and support our online growth plans.
"Closing stores isn't easy but it is vital for the future of M&S.
"Where we have closed stores, we are seeing an encouraging number of customers moving to nearby stores and enjoying shopping with us in a better environment, which is why we're continuing to transform our estate with pace."
The acceleration of its UK store estate programme is part of its wider five-year transformation plan to make "M&S special again". Under the plan M&S has the ambition to create fewer, better clothing and home stores. These stores will be larger, digitally enabled, better located and more inspirational for customers to shop.
Bosses say the move will also be supported by a seamless online experience across all digital channels, including mobile and social, and by a conveniently located network of food stores that offer customers a next-day collect in store service for clothing and home purchases.
