Marks and Spencer is closing multiple stores across the UK as part of a major shake-up of its business - with one closing today.
The high street chain said last year it plans to shut 67 of its larger "full line" stores with home and clothing ranges, with some of the closures having already taken place.
But at the same time, M&S said it will also open 104 more Simply Food shops over the next five years.
Many of the shops are expected to reopen in the same area or location as those earmarked for closure.
Over the next five years, M&S wants to reduce its "full line" stores from 247 to 180, while increasing its food-only sites from 316 to 420.
So far this year, we’ve seen the East Kilbride Shopping Centre store close on February 25.
Here are the stores set to close, subject to ongoing consultations:
East Kilbride Shopping Centre - CLOSED February 25
- Fenchurch Street, London - March 31
Meadowbank retail park, Edinburgh - April 1
- Linthorpe Road, Middlesbrough - April 15
Carlton Street, Castleford - end of April
Newport Road, Cardiff - spring
Eagles Meadow, Wrexham - autumn
Deansgate, Bolton - date to be confirmed
Shoppers affected by the Wrexham closure will see a new M&S shop open in the nearby Plas Coch Retail Park instead.
The news comes after M&S confirmed a third pay rise for some 40,000 workers, increasing hourly pay to £10.90.
The new rate kicks in from April 1 - and comes just months after M&S increased hourly staff pay to a minimum of £10.20 back in October
It means M&S will pay above the National Living Wage, which is rising to £10.42 an hour for those over the age of 23.
Employees in London stores will see their hourly wages upped from £11.25 to £12.05.
M&S isn't the only retailer to confirm store closures this year.
Paperchase will be closing all of its remaining stores by next week after the stationery chain collapsed into administration.
The retailer has put a message on its "store finder" website which says its last day of trading is April 3.
The full message reads: "All of our stores will be closed soon, our last day of trade is 3rd April."
Argos will close its Cardiff Bay store in July, with its Newport, Wales, branch also to shut forever in the summer.
It comes as part of wider plans to move more standalone sites into Sainsbury's stores.
