Closing date confirmed for Bradford M&S store

It was announced in February that Marks & Spencer would be closing the store at The Broadway

The closing date for Bradford's branch of Marks & Spencer has been confirmed by the company.

It was announced last month that the anchor store at The Broadway shopping centre would be shut.

M&S said changing shopping habits had prompted a "transformation" within the business.

The last day of trading will be 18 May, the company confirmed.

Vickie Smith, regional manager at M&S, said discussions were continuing with staff about what the closure meant for them.

"Wherever possible, we will offer them alternative roles with M&S," she added.

The Broadway store has been there since the opening of the leisure complex in 2015.
